| Technische Mechanik 1 |
|---|
| Mechanics deals with the question “What happens if forces act on a body?”. In the first semester, we limit ourself to rigid, static system. Equilibrium of force and momentum will be our tool to determine unknown internal and external forces. |
| Technische Mechanik 2 |
|---|
| All materials are deformable. Taking the deformation into account allows us to solve problems in which balance of force and momentum is not sufficient, to calculate stresses arsing – which may damage the material – and to determine the overall deformation of the structure. |
| Technische Mechanik 3 |
|---|
| Objects start to move under the influence of forces if not well-constrained. In this course the movement of bodies and its relation to the acting forces is investigated, allowing to determine if and how bodies will move and what forces moving bodies cause on static systems they interact with. |
| Numerische Ingenieurmethoden |
|---|
| Few problems in engineering or applied mathematics have an analytical solution and a numerical solution strategy is required. This course provides an overview of basic numerical methods for tasks like integration, solving differential equations, root finding in non-linear equations, solving systems of equations or doing frequency analysis. |
| Modellierung und Diskretisierung in der Festkörpermechanik |
|---|
| Many problems, not only in mechanics, are modelled using partial differential equations which cannot be solved analytically for complex geometries and materials. Therefore, numerical schemes are required, among which the Finite Element Method is most prominent. This course focusses on introducing the concept and on linear problems. |
