This is a continuation course in solid mechanics, providing the basic knowledge in the finite element method (FEM). FEM has developed into one of the most important tools for modelling and simulation of engineering systems.
Introduction of energy methods, strong and weak formulation for analysis of boundary value problems. Approximating functions for the finite element method. One, two and three dimensional isoparametric elements. Formulation of FEM equations for elasto static and thermal problems. Constraints, Convergence and accuracy. Solution of problems by use of commercial FEM programs.
The participant should after the course be able to:
Basic course in Solid mechanics SE1010, SE1020, SE1055 or the equivalent.
Calculus in One Variable, Calculus in Several Variable and Mechanics I or the equivalent courses.
