Goals
+
+ This course aims at providing students an in-depth understanding of the finite element method with a focus on nonlinear and inelastic problems. Theoretical foundation as well as the implementation of the finite element method will be covered with applications primarily in the static and dynamic analysis of solids and structures.
+
+
+
Prerequisites
+
Calculus, Linear algebra, and MATLAB programming are required. It is preferrable to have some basic knowlegde of the finite element method and elasticity.
+
+
