Which loads can a component really withstand? How do I carry out a clean verification using the finite element method? These questions and others are addressed in the master’s module “Technische Festigkeitsberechnung.” Students acquire practical skills in the areas of FE simulation, programming with MATLAB, and strength verification according to the FKM guideline. They also gain insights into fracture mechanics.
The acquired hard facts culminate in the assessment of a semester-long project with a subsequent technical discussion. In this way, future engineers learn the typical process of component design in practical applications already during their studies.
