Course on Non-Linear Dynamic Analysis

This course is planned or meant. for engineering graduate students / teachers / technical staff / design /practicing engineers who have already undergone the foundation course on solid mechanics and Finite Element Methods and wish to enhance his/her knowledge to adopt finite element methods to Nonlinear applications. We believe that training graduate students/design/ practicing engineers to use a specific software package without providing knowledge of the underlying theory is a disservice to the students/design/practicing engineers and can be dangerous for their present / future employers. Thus, attending this course engineers will gain theoretical knowledge of nonlinear analysis and its application with the ability to identify and rectify the errors while solving engineering problems and interpret the results from the analysis. The course is composed of both theory and practical’s using commercial software in solving problems.
