Seminar and Training Workshops on

"Recommendations for Finite Element Analysis of Structures"

Date: 28 February to 1 March 2012

Venue: KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.

Last updated: 07 March 2017

As of 27 February 2012 the Training Workshop days are FULL. There is still space for the Seminar Day.

The event partners are pleased to announce that a seminar and a two day training workshop event regarding "Recommendations for Finite Element Analysis of Structures" will take place at KTH Royal Institute of Technology from 28 February to 1 March 2012 in Stockholm, Sweden. 

The purpose of this event is to give engineers, scientists, researchers and students a broad insight into the theory and practical methods available to model and analyse a range of engineering structures, with a particular focus on bridges. 

The event will cover some topics similar in nature to those proposed for an FEM Handbook "Recommendations for finite element analysis of structures" that is led and funded by the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket.

Organisation

This 3-day event is organised and presented jointly by:

• Professor Raid Karoumi, The Division of Structural Design and Bridges, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden.
• Dr Costin Pacoste, ELU Konsult AB, Sweden and part-time Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden.
• Associate Professor Mario Plos, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden.
• Mr Philip Icke, Scandinavian Regional Manager, LUSAS, UK.
• Mr Steve Rhodes and Mr Julian Moses, Principal Engineers, both of LUSAS, UK.

Delegates may book to attend either just the seminar on day 1, or either or both of the training workshops on days 2 and 3. See below for seminar and workshop details and costs.

SEMINAR (DAY 1) : 28 February 2012

• Lecture room B1. Brinellvägen 23. Time: 9:00-12:00
• Lecture room B3. Brinellvägen 23. Time: 13:00-16:00

The seminar on Day 1 consists of four sessions covering the theory behind the analysis and design of engineering structures and the finite element methods that can be used to model and analyse them. Each lecture session is typically followed by a practical demonstration showing how finite element modelling of the subject matter covered can be achieved in practice.

Agenda

GENERAL TRAINING WORKSHOP (DAY 2) : 29 February 2012

• Computer rooms V155 and V57. Teknikringen 78. Time: 8:00-16:00

The workshop on Day 2 covers modelling and linear analysis of structures. It comprises short presentations, guided examples and workshop sessions that will take delegates through general applications that were that were described during Sessions 1 and 2 on the Seminar day. It is intended to include:

Agenda

ADVANCED TRAINING WORKSHOP (DAY 3) : 1 March 2012

• Computer rooms V155 and V57. Teknikringen 78. Time: 8:00-16:00

The workshop on Day 3 is a more advanced training workshop that covers nonlinear and dynamics analysis. It comprises short presentations, guided examples and workshop sessions that will take delegates through specific applications that were described during Sessions 3 and 4 on the Seminar day.

Agenda

Costs:

• 1000 SEK per day.
• Course costs include handouts / course documentation, lunch and refreshments.
• Discounts of up to 50% are available for PhD students and other academics for attending Day 1.
• Payment methods are stated on the event Booking Form. See below.

Language:

• All lectures and presentation sessions will be given in English.
• On days 2 and 3 a Swedish speaking engineer will assist with the workshop training sessions.

Computer hardware

• Course computers will be provided by KTH. These will be loaded with the latest version of LUSAS finite element analysis software and a temporary access key provided to use the software for the duration of the workshop sessions.

Event location

• Lecture and training rooms in and around KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Department of Civil and Architectural engineering, Brinellvagen 23, Stockholm, Sweden.

Availability and booking status 

• Delegate limit for the seminar day is 100.
• Delegate limit for each workshop day is 24.

As of 07/03/2017 12:24 , the booking status for these days is as follows::

Please note: Delegates registering after room limits have been reached will be placed on a reserve list and notified accordingly. If any currently registered delegates cancel, or if additional space/places can be provided, we will re-contact you with further information.

As of 27 February 2012 the Training Workshop days are FULL. There is still space for the Seminar Day.

Yes please, I'd like to attend...

• If you or any of your colleagues would like to attend either of these days please register using the online event booking form. We will then reserve you a place and advise you further.

We hope you will be able to attend what will be an informative seminar and a very useful couple of training days. 

Yours sincerely
