Simulation and modelling
7.5 ECTS creditsThe course consists of equal parts of lectures and computer laboratory exercises. The exercises primarily involve mandatory hand-in assignments.
The lectures cover the following components:
-basic tensor analysis with cartesian tensors
-linear viscoelasticity theory, anisotropic elasticity, yield criteria and plasticity theory
-theory of severe deformation and rubber elasticity
-linear fracture mechanics analysis, calculation of stress intensity factors
-contact analysis with FEM
-dynamic analysis with FEM
