KurzbeschreibungThis course introduces students to numerical methods commonly used in engineering with a focus on finite element (FE) analysis. Starting with finite differences and ending with static and dynamic FE problems, students will learn the fundamental concepts of finite elements as well as their implementation and application.
LernzielTo understand the concepts and application of numerical techniques for the solution of initial boundary value problems in solid and structural mechanics, particularly including the finite element (FE) method for static and dynamic problems. To understand the structure of FE codes and the right use of FE technology.
InhaltNumerical methods and techniques for solving initial boundary value problems in engineering solid mechanics (heat conduction, static and dynamic mechanics problems of solids and structures). Finite
difference methods, indirect and direct techniques, variational methods, main focus on the finite element (FE) method, FE analysis in small strains for applications in structural mechanics and solid
mechanics.
SkriptTyped lecture notes will be made available online.
