INTRODUCTION

Prediction, description and assessment of characteristics of structures and components in machine design are becoming

increasingly important to support decision making in product development. Being able to making well-informed decisions

at an early stage of the product development process as well as finally finding an optimal design is critical to

competitiveness.

3 good reasons to apply to this programme

coordinates theoretical and experimental methods

provides in-depth knowledge and skills

offers specialist career opportunities

CONTENTS

The purpose of this programme is to prepare for participation in advanced product development or research in

mechanical engineering. The goal is that the graduates will master a coordinated approach to analysis support for

product development, including virtual and physical modelling, simulation/experimentation, and optimisation. They should

also be able to keep up with and contribute to new research findings and communicate scientific data and relationships orally and in writing using modern animation and visualization equipment.

The education aims at providing good opportunities to pursue a career as an analyst or as a researcher within advanced

product development.

The department of Mechanical Engineering at BTH has research activities related to the educational programme within

non-linear physical acoustics, fracture mechanics of thin laminated materials, and methods for analysis of non-linear

structural vibrations.
