Learning activities and methodology
In each week one lecture session (master class) and one practical session (in reduced groups) will be taught. The first is geared to the acquisition of theoretical knowledge, and the second to the acquisition of practical skills related to theoretical concepts. Additionally, students will complement the classes with work at home, using material provided on Aula Global. This subject has an important practical component. In addition to these sessions, 2 laboratory practical sessions and 5 practical computer sessions using a FEM code (LS-DYNA) will be imparted. This labs are imparted in reduced groups (maximum 20 students). These practices are mandatory. At the end of the semester tutorial session will be held. Students also have the possibility of individual tutorials. During the course 2 partial exams will be done (45 min aprox) to evaluate the knowledge acquisition
