Målsætning : The overall course objective is to give the students a basic understanding of the link between Industrial design and the study of mechanics and materials in structural design. This is an intermediate course in strength of materials, that treats finite element analysis (FEA) and indeterminate structures. The students will learn to analyze stiffness and strength of reasonably complex structures and their sub-components, including the influence of material properties. The course provides a firm foundation for later studies in advanced mechanics of materials and finite element methods.
Hovedindhold : A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

• Solve statically indeterminate problems in mechanics.
• Use FEM software for the solution and the graphical illustration of structural design problems.
• Design and analyze beams truss and frame structures
• Apply energy methods to determine stresses and deformations in practical engineering structures.
• Understand the link between material properties and mechanics of materials.
• Use computer software, currently Cambridge Engineering Selector, for interactive material and processes selection.
• Read engineering literature on advanced mechanics of materials.
• Apply the topics of the lectures to practical problems through project work in groups.
• Organize project work in small groups.
• Write a professional project report containing the solutions of the problem + as sales report.

The course will cover the following topics:
Industrial design.
Statically indeterminate structures
Stifness matrix calculation methodology

Introduction to Finite Element Methods (FEM)..
Deflection of beams.
Solid works simulation software and “Cambridge Engineering Selector” (CES EduPack) are used throughout the course.
Undervisningsform : The pedagogy of the course is based on a “design-led approach”. Approximately half of the time allocated to the course will be used in guided project work in groups. The course projects will give the students an opportunity to apply basic concepts learned in the class to real-life problems, and to learn new concepts that are not covered in the lectures.
There will be introductory and summing up lectures as well as an introduction to FEM software. Work in small groups includes design projects, computer simulations, exercises and case studies.
