ETM 4911 - Applied Finite Element Analysis (3)

Introduction to the practical applications of finite element methods for solving structural/ thermal engineering problems. Topics include: 1) the theory/ numerics of linear and nonlinear finite element analysis, 2) steps involved in building/ solving the finite element model, 3) sources of errors in models, and 4) verification/validation techniques. Practical applications will be demonstrated throughout the course as case studies.
