CIE 617LEC - Adv Finite Element Analysi

This is the second course in the finite element methods. The emphasis is applications of the finite element method to problems in structural engineering and solid mechanics. Topics covered in the course include finite element fundamentals and variational formulations, isoparametric element formulations, advanced material models (viscoelastic, elastoplastic), dynamic analysis (modal analysis, time-domain analysis), geometric nonlinearities and contact mechanics. This course is cross-listed with MAE 629.
