Description

Version: 2.0 start 01 February 2021
 

Short description

 The course introduces the design principles of lightweight structures, in particular selected calculation methods for static, fatigue-resistant and stable dimensioning. The focus is on numerical methods, and their application is demonstrated and treated in greater depth in practical lessons.
