13921 - Lightweight Design and Construction Modulübersicht

Module Number: 13921
Module Title:Lightweight Design and Construction
  Leichtbaudesign und Konstruktion
Department: Faculty 3 - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Beirow, Bernd
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:Students gain a deeper knowledge in particurlarities of specific light weight structures, primarily in the fields of enhanced basics of stress, deformation, and strength analyses with fibre reinforced structures included as well as stability analysis and vibration of continua. Students are enabled to select, develop, and design problem specific light weight solutions.
Contents:Repetition of elasticity theory; beam, membrane and plate theory; patricularities of thin-walled profile bars (shear, torsion), fibre reinforced plastic structures (GRP, CRP, etc.), sandwich structures, stablility of elastic structures, structural vibration, practical exercises employing FE-software.
