For reasons of cost and material savings, weight or efficiency optimization (lightweight construction, e.g. in vehicle development and agricultural engineering), modern mechanical designs are pushed to the limits of mechanical load-bearing capacity. Calculation tools such as software for finite element analysis, fatigue analysis, multi-body simulation and modal analysis are used for component design not only by specialists, but increasingly also by designers and developers. In order to use these calculation tools responsibly, an understanding of the theoretical background is necessary, particularly with regard to strain and stress states, equivalent stresses and vibration-related design of components. After successfully completing the "Advanced Mechanics" module, students will be familiar with the basics of elastostatics and elasticity theory as well as vibration analysis and design, based on the mechanics modules of the Bachelor's degree programs, and will be able to apply them to practical problems.

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").
