Content
Mathematical foundation , strong and weak 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. 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
