SD2416 Structural Optimisation and Sandwich Design

Completed degree project on Bachelor level with major in technology.

Completed course that has provided knowledge equivalent to the content of the basic course in Solid Mechanics SE1010.

English B / English 6

Basic beam and plate theory for sandwich structures. Design of sandwich structures regarding stiffness and strength. Basic structural optimisation applied to sandwich structures. Finite element modeling, manufacturing aspects, sustainability aspects for sandwich structures. Laboration and programming and desing task. 

Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• design sandwich beams and isotropic sandwich plates subjected to common load conditions.
• use simple optimisation methods with and without constraints.
• formulate a problem from structural mechanics as an optimisation problem and solve it.
• describe finite elements for sandwich structures.
