ME 65100 - Advanced Finite Element Method For Solids


Credit Hours: 3.00.  This course is designed to teach students advanced finite element techniques for solid mechanics stress and heat transfer analysis. Those include:  techniques for modeling beams, plates and 2D/3D continua with material non-linearity, material plasticity and geometric non-linearity; heat transfer; modeling thermos-mechanical systems; frequency domain, time domain and quasi-static solutions; modeling of frictional contact; modeling rigid-bodies. Applications of the modeling techniques taught in this course will be introduced, including: modal analysis; stress-analysis with material and geometric non-linearity; structural dynamics with material and geometric non-linearity; frictional contact problems; metal forming and crash analysis. Prerequisites: ME 55100 and ME 58100. Graduate Standing. Permission of instruction required. Typically offered Spring.Credits: 3.00
