Learning Outcomes

The learning outcomes of the module are: - Understanding the fundamental concept of elastic stability theory, geometric nonlinearities and post-buckling - Understanding and analysing fundamental elastic (in-)stability phenomena and post-buckling - Obtain an understanding of exploiting post-buckling and flexible deformation characteristics for enhanced structural performance and advanced structures/materials - Developing analytical models of slender and flexible structures - Analysing and evaluating the mechanical behaviour of flexible structures with the aid of (non-)commercial (open source) computational software tools (analytical and numerical tools, e.g. Pyfurc, AUTO, Python, Matlab, Maple, Fortran, Abaqus, etc.) - Writing of scientific reports and preparing scientific presentations - Ability to work in a team to solve engineering problems

Content

In the first part of the module, the following topics will be taught: - Introduction to elastic stability theory, geometric nonlinearites and post-buckling of structures - Elastic (in-)stability phenomena (e.g. stable and unstable bifurcations / buckling), - Principle of exploiting structural (in-)stabilities, post-buckling and flexible deformations in enhancing structural performance Subsequently, students will work in small groups (up to 5 students) on research projects comprising applications of structural (in-)stabilities and flexible structures. The group work will comprise: - Familiarization with the project/topic and necessary software - Developing a solution strategy and associated time planning - Developing analytical and computational models - Analyse and evaluate the structural behaviour in the postbuckling range - Writing scientific-technical reports - Preparing and holding scientific presentations The group work may also include (if required and possible): - Prototyping with the aid of additive manufacturing - Demonstrating the deformation characteristics with the aid of the prototypes

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

The introductory part of the module (3-4 weeks) contains lectures and tutorials. This part closes with a short exam. In the second part, students will work in small groups (max. 5 students) on research projects, where they will be supervised by a lecturer. At the end of term, students will deliver a presentation on their research project and also prepare a scientific report.
