Decision to discontinue this course:
No information insertedContent and learning outcomes
Course contents
Stress and strain relations in 2D and 3D, principal stresses and strains, constitutive relationships, strut-and-tie method, analytical and numerical methods for membranes and plates, basic elements of the FEM for membranes and plates, use of the FE software ForcePAD and ANSYS.
Intended learning outcomes
The student will learn to analyse and evaluate principal stresses, explain and use the strut-and-tie method for simple membranes, use the finite element method for computation of membranes and plates and evaluate the results, and explain the stabilising function of membranes and plates in large buildings.
