Strength and Dynamics of Structures - Specialization
The study plan is not mandatory but is a recommended study plan that fulfills the requirements. All other study plans also have to fulfill the requirements, including maximum 2 years of study for obtaining 120 ECTS.
The basic principle of the discipline is a good understanding of physical relations and an interest in mathematical modelling. Computer simulations based on extensive use of applied mathematics and experimental methods are important aspects. The teaching activities provide the students with the proper qualifications to carry out analyses of strength, vibration, and stability as well as dimensioning of products ranging from micro components to machines, e.g., offshore rigs.
Strength and Dynamics of Structures
This discipline is based on a good understanding of physical behavior and an interest in mathematical modelling and solutions. Computer modelling based on extensive use of applied mathematics and experimental methods are important disciplines. The teaching activities in this discipline qualify students to carry out strength, vibration, and stability analyses and dimensioning of products from micro components to production equipments and e.g. drilling platforms.
All mandatory courses under the polytechnic foundation and programme specific courses in the curriculum must be completed, in addition, the following must be fulfilled:

Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
