Course description and aims

This course focuses on the advanced computational mechanics used in the analysis of engineering designing.
Topics include finite element methods of dynamical problems, nonlinear analysis and finite differential methods of fluid dynamics.
By combining lectures and exercises, the course enables students to understand and acquire the advanced knowledge of Computational mechanics.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand the theory of finite element methods for dynamical problems
2) Understand the theory of finite element methods for nonlinear problems
3) Understand the theory of large scale problems and multiphysics analysis
4) Acquire the knowledge to perform the practical numerical simulation with FEM and FDM.

Keywords

computational mechanics, continuum mechanics , eigenvalue analysis , nonlinear analysis , computational fluid dynamics , multi -physics analysis

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

Students will get the experience of performing the comptational mechanics using package software.
