Introduction to Finite Elements
Credits: (2+0+2) 3 ETCT 6 Office: M3310COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Matrix methods of structural analysis in structures in 2D. Stiffness properties of trusses, beams and plane frames. Principle of minimum potential energy, theory of finite elements, finite element formulation of trusses and beams and 2D elasticity (plane stressand plane strain). A project where the matrix methods and finite element formulation is implemented in MATLAB code environment.
