Applied FEM II G2F

Education facts

Code: MT510G

<p>The course focuses on the practical application of the finite element method (FEM) and, to a large extent, omits the underlying theory. Students perform stress analyzes, buckling analyzes and modal analyzes using commercial FE software. FE analyzes are performed with the element types: two- and three-dimensional solid elements, beam elements, and shell elements, where applications and capabilities of these element types are discussed. The course deals with nonlinear FE analysis of the types: plasticity problems, contact analysis and nonlinear geometry analyzes. Error sources such as discretization errors, modeling errors and convergence problems are addressed.</p>

Entry requirements

The course has the following entry requirements: passed MT345G Strength of Materials II G1F and passed MT347G Strength of Materials III G1F and passed FY128G Thermodynamics G1N and passed MT356G Applied FEM I G1F and attended MT351G Mechanics IV G1F (or the equivalent).
