Nonlinear Analysis of Structural Components and Systems

3 Credits

Nonlinear analysis of structural components and systems, considering the effects of material and geometric nonlinearities. Solution strategies; material constitutive models; nonlinear member section analysis; computational plasticity; nonlinear beam-column element formulations; second order analysis; structural stability; and nonlinear time history analysis of structural dynamic systems. Prerequisites: CEE 352 and CEE 359 and CEE 404
