Overview
Structural Analysis from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia design reflects two strategic orientations. First, it has a strong international dimension to encourage the participation of many students. Professors from Latin America, European countries, Asia and Africa are involved in teaching.
Second, the conceptual design of the programme and the scientific content it focuses on closely reflect the challenges and innovation-related problems that Spanish and European industry face as they seek to improve their competitiveness in a global context.
The programme also has close links with other universities and with companies in RDI. Professors and students work with a large number of companies on RDI projects within the framework of joint projects funded by national and EU research bodies. In the last five years, professors and students on the programme have participated in numerous research projects selected through competitive calls under national and EU programmes.
Students at Structural Analysis from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia will:
- gain a deeper knowledge of the most commonly used structural materials and their numerical treatment: two and three-dimensional continuous media, beams, plates and sheets
- develop and extend their knowledge and understanding of constitutive equations for materials that can be used to analyse their behaviour
- be introduced to the numerical treatment of differential and integral equations that govern the structural behaviour of materials
- use various numerical solution methods to analyse equations resulting from discretisation of the continuum, including coupling and interaction problems.
