Learning outcome, core skills

After successfully completing the module the students:

  • can identify the elements of the numeric models for membranes and shells and explain their mathematic-physical background
  • are able to describe the presented numerical discretization methods
  • can transfer the formulations used for membranes and shells to other constitutive laws and implement them into an existing software application
  • are able to estimate the accuracy of those applications

Content

The module includes the following topics:

  1. Kinetics of membranes under large deformations
  2. Constitutive laws for membranes
