Learning
goals:
The student must be able to:
-
understand
general load bearing
principles in shell structures
-
describe
the theory of linear axi-symmetric shells
-
identify the difference
in load bearing behaviour according to membrane theory and general
theory
-
understand the limits
of applicability of thin shell theory
-
classify stresses in
thin and thick shells according to stress categories and perform life
time assessment
-
perform "design by
analysis" of thin and thick pressure vessel parts in accordance with
engineering codes and standards
-
perform finite element
stress analysis to shells and components and to perform the reliability
evaluation
