Design of Mechanical Systems (Aalborg)

Course Description

The design and manufacturing of most of the products we use in our everyday life has in some way involved work of a mechanical engineer. The mechanical engineer has either been directly involved in the design and development process of the product and/or in the design and development process of the manufacturing equipment. Furthermore, the global competition has increased the demands for efficiency and functionality in industrial products. Therefore, the world needs engineers who can develop advanced and competitive mechanical systems, machines and products. The graduate programme Design of Mechanical Systems prepares you for meeting such challenges. The Design of Mechanical Systems programme at Aalborg University, Denmark, focuses on design and development of industrial products through the use of both theory and practice. Thereby, you learn how to combine technical and creative skills and obtain in-depth knowledge about the entire design and development process. The programme gives you insight into a wide range of design tools essential for a mechanical engineer. The classical engineering disciplines such as mechanics of materials, continuum mechanics, and variational methods are combined with courses on the latest computer based simulation tools like finite element methods, optimization methods and multi body system analysis methods. The use of composite materials for advanced structural applications is one of the key areas of the programme, and you will learn how to use these for engineering design purposes. The programme offers courses and projects within the following fields: Stress and deformation analyses of load carrying structural elements Continuum mechanics (theory of elasticity, plasticity, and micro mechanics) Finite element methods Fracture mechanics and fatigue Energy and variational methods with applications Multi body system analysis Engineering design optimization Mechanics of composite materials and structures Engineering design of mechanical systems
