What it is about

You will learn the fundamentals and concepts of the Finite Element Method (FEM) for linear and nonlinear structural mechanics. After the module you will be able to perform FEM analyses, assess the causes and effects of geometric nonlinearities, develop simple FEM program parts, and independently work out complex analyses with technical literature.

What you will be able to do

  • Understand the fundamentals of the Finite Element Method
  • Apply FEM to linear structural mechanics
  • Assess nonlinear structural problems with geometric nonlinearities
  • Translate continuum mechanics to nonlinear load-bearing structures
  • Apply mathematical solution methods for nonlinear structural analyses
  • Use load–displacement diagrams to evaluate structural behavior
  • Develop simple FEM program parts

What the module consists of

  • LectureConveying the theoretical foundations of FEM
  • Lecture with integrated exerciseApplication of the lecture material in exercises
  • ExerciseDeepening through manual calculations and computer algebra

Teaching method

  • Classic lectures and presentationsExplanation of theory and concepts
  • Exercises with manual calculation and computer algebraDeepening and practical application of what has been learned
  • Additional problem sheets (self-study)Independent reinforcement of the material ('Check your knowledge')
  • Teaching softwareSupport of the content for nonlinear analysis
