Computational Forensics and Failure Analysis

1 Unit · Graduate

The course will cover the use of the scientific method for accident investigation, hypothesis development, and the use of the finite element method to analyze the root cause of a failure. Practical application problems for both civil and mechanical structures will be analyzed using commercial finite element codes (Abaqus, Hypermesh, LS-Dyna) Prerequiste: CIV_ENV 327-0 or MECH_ENG 327-0 .
