Thin-Walled Members and Stability 4 (U00407)

? Credit Points : 10 ? SCQF Level : 10 ? Acronym : EEL-4-CVTWS

The two segments of this module introduce advanced elements of the theory of structures. The first provides an introduction to the behaviour and algebraic analysis of thin-walled structural members; the second covers the stability of structural elements and their analysis.
