151-0529-00L | Computational Mechanics II: Nonlinear FEA | 4 credits | 2V + 2U | L. De Lorenzis | |
Abstract | The course provides an introduction to non-linear finite element analysis. The treated sources of non-linearity are related to material properties (hyperelasticity, plasticity), kinematics (large deformations, instability problems) and boundary conditions (contact). | ||||
Objective | To be able to address all major sources of non-linearity in theory and numerics, and to apply this knowledge to the solution of relevant problems in solid mechanics. | ||||
Content | 1. Introduction: various sources of nonlinearities and implications for FEA. 2. Non-linear kinematics: large deformations, stability problems. 3. Non-linear material behavior: hyperelasticity, plasticity. 4. Non-linear boundary conditions: contact problems. | ||||
Lecture notes | Lecture notes will be provided. However, students are encouraged to take their own notes. | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Mechanics 1, 2, Dynamics, Continuum Mechanics I and Introduction to FEA. Ideally also Continuum Mechanics II. |
