Credit points: 5.00
Contact: 24 hours of lectures
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course students should be able to analyse for the internal actions and the resultant deformations produced in a wide variety of determinate and indeterminate structures when subjected to either static or dynamic loading states using modern computer modelling techniques. Extensive use of teaching oriented software containing the major features to be found in commercially available structural analysis packages as well as an introduction to the latter is a major feature of the course.
Content:
Matrix methods for analysis of planar frames. Introduction to the finite element method for solution of plane stress and plane strain problems.
Assessment:
a two-hour examination; assignments during the course.
