About the course
Aim
The course aims at giving the students
- knowledge about the phenomena that may jeopardize the functionality and integrity of a component, such as plasticity, stability, resonance, fatigue, crack growth and fracture
- the ability to carry out basic design work w.r.t. the phenomena listed above
- an understanding of the importance of result evaluation At the end of the course the students shall be able to give an account of the phenomena listed above carry out design work of the type discussed above In order to reach the goals of the course, classical lectures and teaching classes will be used in combination with laboratory work (practical and computer based tasks)
Content
* vibrations in discrete systems and a brief overview of vibrations in continuous systems, resonance* fatigue (crack initiation, crack propagation, total life), fracture criteria* multi-axial states, stress and strain analysis, yield criteria, creep (brief overview)* energy methods (the minimum of the total potential energy, the Rayleigh-Ritz method including the effect of axial loading in beam bendning- stiffening and buckling)and* design work w.r.t. the course content
