Description

Version: 2.0 start 01 February 2021
 

Short description

 The course introduces the basic concepts of lightweight design as well as the material models of typical lightweight materials. The focus is on numerical methods for dimensioning lightweight structures, and their application is practised and treated in greater depth in practical lessons.
