| Detailed information |
| Original study plan |
Master's programme Polymer Engineering and Science (PES) 2025W |
| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| Students are able to apply methods for design, analysis and sizing of weight efficient components for load-carrying structures. They will deepen the knowledge acquired in the parallel course "Design of Lightweight Structures" (KV) by means of example calculations motivated by practical applications in e.g. aerospace and automotive structural design.

Students are able to
- represent and analyze plane stress states of thin-walled structures by means of Mohr's circle (k3),
- analyze stress concentrations at e.g. rivet holes (k3)
- analyze and design adhesive joints (k3)
- analyze effects of plasticity in structural components (k3)
- analyze curvature effects in curved structures (k3)
- analyze and design shear-field systems and box structures (k3),
- analyze and evaluate the onset of buckling of columns and plate structures under compression and shear (k4),
- analyze and evaluate the snap-through behavior of arched columns and truss structures (k4),
- analyze and evaluate the effective width and diagonal tension in buckled plate structures, and design stiffened panels (k5),
- design laminated composite materials to optimize their strength and stiffness behavior (k4).
