Featuring four live online sessions, this course is for engineers with a good understanding of linear analysis but who need to progress to nonlinear analysis for design and assessment.

Many problems facing designers and engineers are nonlinear in nature, whether it be masonry arch cracking, buckling of a plate girder system or soil-structure interaction. While the assumption of linearity is routinely used for many designs, sometimes a more refined – nonlinear – approach is justified.

With LUSAS you can straightforwardly model the various forms of nonlinear behaviour that can be encountered, and become proficient in using tools and facilities that are often seen to be the preserve of the experts.
