Syllabus
Syllabus mentioned in ERP
Basic concepts: The standard discrete system, Finite elements of an elastic continuum-displacement approach, Generalization of the finite element conceptsweighted residual and variational approaches. Element types: triangular, rectangular, quadrilateral, sector, curved, isoparametric elements and numerical integration. Automatic mesh generation schemes. Application to structural mechanics problems: plane stress and plane strains, Axisymmetric stress analysis, three dimensional stress analysis, bending of plates. Introduction to the use of FEM in steady state field problems-heat conduction, fluid flow and non-linear material problems, plasticity, creep etc. Computer procedures for Finite element analysis.
Concepts taught in class
Student Opinion
If taught by SG, just don't take it. He doesn't know FEM.
if any other good prof is teaching, can take the course. You learn the theory by FEM - what matrices are involved, what numerical methods are used and so on.
