Mechanical & Industrial Engrg 605 - Finite Element Anlys

The underlying mathematical theory behind the finite element method and its application to the solution of problems from solid mechanics. Includes a term project involving the application of the finite element method to a realistic and sufficiently complex engineering problem selected by the student and approved by the instructor; requires the use of a commercial finite element code. Strong background in linear algebra and calculus recommended. Mr. Grosse

Open to graduate students majoring in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Materials Science & Engineering.
