AME561 - Finite Element Methods
Course ID
005518
Course Description
This course will introduce the student to the finite element method to solve boundary value problems in structural mechanics (statics and dynamics), heat transfer, and acoustics. Derivation of elements, weighted-residual (Galerkin) methods, Rayleigh Ritz method, convergence will be studied. This course will have a strong theoretical component but will also have practical sessions during which a commercial finite element software will be used. A final project will help students synthesize the knowledge acquired during the course.
