Strength and Dynamics of Structures

The following study plan assumes start of study in September, such that 1. semester is fall, 2. semester is spring, 3. semester is fall and the thesis work is carried out in spring. It includes only one spring semester of courses.

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.

The list below includes elective courses recommended for the Engineering Design and Product Development specialization. The courses are not required to be taken to obtain the specialization.
