Structural Analysis IV
Advanced Methods

Forces and Stresses in Plane Structures

The lecture Structural Analysis IV teaches the fundamentals of the determination of internal forces and stresses in plane structures. In the course, analytical solutions are graphically illustrated with the help of programming with e.g. Python and MATLAB in order to deepen the understanding of the learned contents. Within the exercises and homework, analytically determined results are compared with the help of FE software.
