Key words
Strength of materials - Finit Element Method - Calculation of welds- Bulking Calculation of bolts
Objectives
The first part of this course is based on the finite element method. By using this method we calculate complex structures by computer. The students are aimed to apply this method correctly. Static and dynamic problems are discussed theoretically and fully trained on computer.
The second part of this course makes the student competent to fulfil calculations of strength of constructions. These items are necessary to achieve the competention to start the final project.

A weighted average is used to compute the final score for a training item. However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items) , he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course, the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
