| Abstract | Basic theoretical and procedural concepts of the method of finite elements (FE) for the analysis of - Plasticity - Large Displacement Problems - Fracture Mechanics - Nonlinear Dynamics - Thermomechanics |
| Learning objective | The class overviews advanced topics of the Method of Finite Elements, beyond linear elasticity. The concepts are introduced via theory, numerical examples, demonstrators and computer labs.
