Beschreibung

Are you interested in deepening your knowledge/experience of structural dynamics?

Do you know how common the use of so-called "spyder elements" is as a reduction of interface degrees of freedom in component assembly?

Mastering interface reduction in finite elements AND real experiments is crucial!

 

Milestones:
- Literature study about the use of common spyder elements in structural dynamics (RBE2, RBE3, VPT)
- Investigation, derivation and interpretation of commonalities and differences between the techniques
- Setting a benchmark in a finite element and experimental scenario for the implementation and comparison of the techniques
- Evaluation on usability, advantages and disavdantages of the techniques 
- optional: study of alternative interface reductions with numerical and experimental applications

 

You have the opportunity to learn at the best Chair of TUM! :) 

Voraussetzungen

- experience in Matlab or Python

- knowledge about finite elements (preferably experience with Abaqus)

- knowledge/interest in structural dynamics
