Finite Element Method: Theory and Application

Course content

The students learn how to employ the Finite Element Method to solve boundary value problems in solid mechanics applications. They are able to solve linear and nonlinear problems (heat equation, nonlinear elasticity). The students are able to numerically implement the methods in a Finite Element Toolbox.

Content:
The Finite Element Method for linear and nonlinear problems in solid mechanics: Heat equation, nonlinear elasticity. Variational format, weighted residuals. Numerical implementation in a Finite Element Toolbox.
