Applied Finite Element Analysis 6 Credits

Course Contents

The course contains the basic concepts needed for the implementation of FEM such as numerical integration, assembly, and the concepts of weak and strong form of a differential equation. From solid mechanics, elementary differential equation models are derived, such as Navier's elasticity equations and the Euler beam equation.
The course covers the following topics:
-Basic FEM: Partial integration in one and several dimensions; strong and weak form of heat conduction in one and two dimensions; Galerkin's method; shape functions; numerical integration; isoparametric elements
-Theory of elasticityi: Three dimensional elasticity, plane stress and plane strain; finite elements for elasticity
-Beam elements: The Eluler-Bernoulli beam; strong and weak form; approximations with continuous derivatives
