Entry requirements
120 credits including 90 credits in science/engineering and basic course in solid mechanics. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
Learning outcomes
On completion of the course the student shall be able to:
- identify different classes of structural optimization addressing sizing, shape, and topology,
- explain the concept of design variables, constraints, and objective functions in anoptimization problem,
- formulate engineering design problems for simple load-bearing structures as optimization problems,
- numerically solve simple size-optimization problems,
- implement optimization algorithms.
Content
Objective functions, constraints, different optimization algorithms, numerical implementation and problem solving.
Instruction
Lectures, laboratory work and project work.
Assessment
Project work (2 credits), assignment (2 credits) and laboratory work (1 credit).
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
