Basic FEM 7.5 credits
Course Contents
The aim of the course is to combine theory and application regarding Finita Element Analys.
The course includes the following elements;
- Deriving the equations for elasticity, force equilibrium, geometric relations, material relations, principal stress.
- Theory on governing differential equations and methods of discretization.
- Idealization, choice of models, loads, boundary conditions, simplifications, meshing, solution strategies, visualization of results and post-processing.
- Implementation of a numeric solver in both 1D and 2D using Matlab.
- Analysis with commercial software packages, heat problems, solid mechanics, contact, large deformations, plasticity, material models, frequency analysis, buckling and dynamic loading.
