Contents
Competencies / intended learning achievements
While questioning specific structural design problems, the students learn how to model and compute structures (e.g. bridges, components, micro structures) and their characteristics (e.g. compliance) and how to set up discrete models for the structural design. The final goal is to enable the students to treat topology optimization problems for structures, while the methods for topology optimization make also use of sizing and shape design methodologies (as in case of bubble methods). In tutorials based on MATLAB and open source software, the students will get hands on the derived methods for topology optimization. The lecture is furthermore valuable for getting introduced to more general lectures on optimization with PDEs. For those students who have heard already lectures on optimization with PDEs, the lecture gives a specific problem and application oriented insight into this class of optimization problems.
