This subject is the continuation of the one studied in the first four-month period "Calculation and design of automobile structures". In the subject of the first semester the basic theoretical knowledge of mechanical calculation will be explained and analytically applied.

In the present subject the students will work numerically, using a calculation software.

Knowledge and use of the principles of the strenght of materials for the simulation and analysis using the Finite Element Method in automotive.

The expected learning results are:

- Apply knowledge of strenght of materials applied to automotive examples and the use of appropriate computer tools.

- Solve the problems of strenght of materials by means of qualitative and quantitative analysis and to propose suitable solutions using the appropriate models.

- Prepare written and oral reports, expressing adequately theoretical knowledge, methods of resolution and results obtained.

- Work on projects applying the appropriate legislation or regulations.

- Analyze and evaluate the social and environmental impact by applying sustainability criteria.

- Structural analysis. The matrix method.

- Finite element method: Preprocess-process-postprocess.

- Linear and non-linear analysis, application examples.

- Finite elements in dynamics. Modal analysis, theory of vibrations.

Theoretical contents based on the resistance of materials and the method of finite elements will be explained in master clasess.

In classroom practices, exercises will be carried out first analytically and then numerically using the specific software. And finally results obtained will be compared.



The first sessions of computer practices will be an overview of some tools of finite element calculation software.

Se realizará evaluación continua en base al sistema de evaluación presentado.



En el caso de que no se pueda realizar una evaluación presencial de la asignatura, se realizarán los cambios pertinentes para la realización de una evaluación on line mediante la utilización de las herramientas informáticas existentes en la UPV/EHU. Las características de esta evaluación on line será publicadas en las guías de estudiante y en eGela.

El alumnado tendrá que evaluarse de la parte que tiene suspendida.
