Finite-Element Simulation Techniques

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course builds on MECH 4665. It deals with the applications of the finite-element method to analyze practical problems in mechanical design and delves into the associated fundamental numerical aspects. Robust modelling concepts such as plane stress, plane strain and axisymmetric techniques will be discussed, as well as the use of beam, plates and shell elements in modelling of more complex system. The course will consider static and dynamic analyses and elastic-plastic analysis. PREREQUISITES: MECH 4665.03 or equivalent EXCLUSIONS: MECH 6660.03 FORMATS: Lecture | Lab | Tutorial
