| Prerequisites: | Finite Element theory presented to students in the course "Costruzioni e Strutture Aerospaziali 2" ("Design of Aerospace Structures 2"). |
| Target skills and knowledge: | Learning how to use a professional finite element code and capabilty to critically review the FEM analysis results. |
| Examination methods: | tests during the course (1/3 of final score) and final short study of a proposed structural problem (2/3 of final score). |
| Assessment criteria: | Ability to use the solver and the pre-processor.
Understanding of the key assumptions used in the development of a FEM model. Ability to critically discuss the results obtained by numerical models. |
| Course unit contents: | This Lab course is linked to the Finite Element theory presented to students in the course "Costruzioni e Strutture Aerospaziali 2". After a few introductory lectures on how to use the available software (NASTRAN and PATRAN as pre-processor), several simple academic structural examples will be presented to students, followed by the presentation of structural cases of growing complexity that students will have to study.
The analyses studied will be: static, normal & complex modes, buckling, random analysis, shock response evaluation, non-linear static and transient problems (the contact phenomena will be included). Will be performed experimental activities on buckling phenomena. |
| Planned learning activities and teaching methods: | Simple academic structural examples will be presented to students, followed by the presentation of structural cases of growing complexity that students will have to study.
Some finite element models of buckling problems will be prepared and the results will be compared with the experimental ones. Four individual exercices will be prepared by the students during the course. |
| Additional notes about suggested reading: | Lecture notes will be provided by lecturer using the moodle platform. |
