Prerequisites: Student should have previous knowledge or currently registered to courses: Solid Mechanics (AE8124), Mechanics of Composites (AE8102), Linear Algebra, and Numerical analysis. Moreover, this course requires some programming knowledge with C/C++, FORTRAN, Java, Python or any other computer language you prefer. Matlab is not recommended for graduate students. |
Course Description |
This course aims at providing fundamental and practical notions in finite element analysis. The course will present systematic approaches for the derivation of various finite elements. The students will also be introduced to numerical techniques for the solution of the discretized governing equations. Practical aspects such as mesh generation and choice related to numerical integration will also be presented. This course will mostly be based on structural analysis, focusing on both isotropic and composite materials. Students need to program their own FE code to accomplish homework and final project. |
