Course detail

Steel Constructions and FEM

FSI-ZOKAcad. year: 2019/2020

The course combines the areas of steel structure design and computational modelling using a finite element method in a single logical framework. Students obtain basic information from the theory of steel structures in building - limit states theory, dimensioning of steel structures, joining of elements of building structures, design hangars. Students will also deepen their knowledge of finite element method and solution of nonlinear contact problems, use of nonlinear material models, solution of fast processes and modal analysis and Eigen vibration. The practical part is focused on deepening the knowledge of engineering analysis in the Ansys Workbench system with a focus on steel structures and more advanced nonlinear problems.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will acquire knowledge of the theory of limit states, design of elements with tension and compression loading and learn how to practically use computational methods of structural mechanics, design of construction structures. Students will realize the difference between the design of engineering and civil-engineering structures. Students become familiar with the creation of complicated computational problems using the finite element method focused on nonlinear contacts, bilinear material models, solution of fast processes and modal analysis.

Prerequisites
