The course consists of lectures, homework assignments, and seminars. In the lectures, the theory for the different topics is presented, including the numerical structure for implantation of material models in commercial FE codes. In the homework assignments, the students will perform a numerical implementation of the different parts using Matlab. The students will then present their results to each another in a seminar.

Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
The overall purpose of the course is that the student should get a thorough understanding of the numerical implantation of FEM and the analysis methods that are available in FEM.
After the course the student should be able to
- implement new material models in commercial FE codes like Ansys, Abaqus, etc
- implement time dependent material models in an FE code

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- BER1 - Computational Assignments, 7.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Oral and individual report of the project.
Other requirements for final grade
Passed homework assignments
Passed oral project report
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
