ME 4602 - Transient and Nonlinear Finite Element Methods

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
This course is a mechanical engineering technical elective whose purpose is to introduce students to the finite element method applied to structural and thermal problems of both a transient dynamic nature and a nonlinear nature. In the lecture portion of the course, students will be instructed in formulation of a finite element procedure for solving any differential equation in space or time. Also, students will be taught how time integration algorithms are used in conjunction with distributed modeling and how nonlinearities are handled by the finite element method. A laboratory portion of the course will be planned using a commercial software code for the purposes of extending the one-dimensional algorithms for more complex application. (prereq: ME 460 )
