Course on Finite Element Methods
About Course
The course aims to cover basic theory and principles of finite element methods procedure and apply finite element methodology to solve structural, thermal, fluid flow and dynamic problems.Description
Finite element analysis is a widely used technique that is essential for engineering graduate students / teachers / technical staff / design engineers in solving problems hence they should have the basic knowledge of the theory and applications of this technique. We believe that training graduate students/design engineers to use a specific software package without providing knowledge of the underlying theory is a disservice to the students/design engineers and can be dangerous for their future/present employers. Thus, attending this course engineers will gain theoretical knowledge of finite element method and its application with the ability to identify and rectify the errors while solving engineering problems and interpret the results from the analysis.
What Will I Learn?
- Understand and acquire the fundamental knowledge of finite element method.
- Apply finite element method to most relevant problems in mechanical engineering domain.
- Demonstrate finite element analysis for solving a diversity of mechanical engineering problems.
- Ability to identify and rectify the errors while solving engineering problems.
- Knowledge to interpret the results from the analysis.
