Lectures with exercise sessions, 4 SWS, ECTS-Credits: 5, Auditors welcomed

Description
In this course we aim to provide a theoretical overview of beam theory in the context of continuum mechanics and Lagrangian mechanics and its numerical treatment with an emphasis on geometry. We will introduce the concept of Lie group and their role in the description of the geometrically exact beam model used for large deformations.

Contents

  • Vector spaces and smooth manifolds
  • Continuum and Lagrangian mechanics
  • Linear beam theory
  • Nonlinear beam theory
  • Finite rotations and Lie groups
  • Geometrically exact beam

Prerequisites
Knowledge of dynamics and statics, elastostatics, linear algebra, differential equations.
