Supervisor:

Department of Mechanics

Synopsis:

Overview of direct stiffness method of structural mechanics. Weak solution of one-dimensional elasticity equations. Galerkin method, principle of the Finite Element method. Steady state heat conduction in one dimension. Two-dimensional heat conduction problem, triangular finite elements. Two-dimensional elasticity problems. Thin beams. Convergence of FEM, error estimates.

Study Objective:

Students will understand all essential steps of FEM and will be able to apply it to the basic problems of structural mechanics and heat transfer problems. A basic understanding of FEM implementation principles will be ensured by MATLAB-oriented exercises.
