Mechanical Engineering 365, Finite Elements for Stress Analysis
Catalog description Introduction to the finete-element method for stress analysis, with emphasis on linear elasticity. Computer implementation of finite element techniques: finite-element code development and modification; use of comercial codes. Prerequisite: ME 262, MATH 215, or CIV ENG 216. Who takes it Students interested in gaining a deeper appreciation of the mechanics of deformable solids are welcome to take this course. Typically, students in Mechanical Engineering and Biomchanical engineering take this course in their junior or senior years. What it's about As structures and mechanisms grow more complex, so do the demands put on material from which they are built. Without thorough understanding of the stress imposed on the structure, and exact computation, these structures would never be possible. This course will familiarize students with the basic concepts of finite-element method for stress analysis, and computer implementation. The course will focus on topic specific programming and usage of commercial codes popular in the industry.
