Content
Mathematical foundation , strong and week formulation of the elasticity problem and general field problems, shape functions, mapped elements and numerical integration, Accuracy and adaptive methods, Application in 2 - and 3 dimensional theory of elasticity ( plain stress and plane strain, axisymmetric stress analysis, solids, plate bending and shells) as well as heat conduction. Introduction to dynamic problems and some non-linear problems. Finite element modelling. Use of general purpose finite element software.
Learning outcome
After completing the course the student should have:
- An overall understanding of the finite element method and knowledge of the approaches made and possible sources of error
- Be able to use the method to problems in elasticity theory and structural mechanics, both static and dynamic, and the general field problems as heat conduction.
- Be able to develop a code in MATLAB / CALFEM for analysis using the finite element method. Have experience using general purpose finite element software
