Course description and aims

This course focuses on computational mechanics when designing. Topics include basics of computational mechanics, stiffness matrix, governing equations for elastic material, Rayleigh-Ritz method, basics of finite element method, practical knowledge of FEM.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to use computational mechanics when students want to design something.

Keywords

Computational mechanics, Design

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills ✔ Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This course introduces basics and computational mechanics and checks students' understanding by exercise in the first half of the course. Students will have chances to work on cases by applying knowledge acquired through this course in the latter half of the course.
