Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

An advanced course in finite element analysis emphasizing the nonlinear solution of problems involving solids and structures (with a special emphasis on the latter). The formulation of nonlinear structural elements, the development of efficient and robust means for treating material nonlinearity, and the nonlinear solution of finite element systems are fundamentals topics treated in this course. Topics from structural stability, problems involving coupled physics, and those involving transient dynamical response, are also treated. The primary out-of-class effort centers on a significant project, and all students are required to write their own nonlinear finite element code in support of this. As a result, some experience with programming is required.

When Offered Fall.
