Weiterführende Finite-Elemente Methoden

What it is about

You will learn about advanced finite element techniques (e.g. Mixed/Hybrid Elements, Discontinuous Galerkin, Non-conforming methods, adaptive procedures, Isogeometric Analysis) as well as modern iterative solvers and preconditioners. In the end you will be able to analyze these methods, apply them to examples from solid mechanics and incompressible flow, and independently access further specialist literature.

What you will be able to do

• Understanding the derivation and analysis of advanced finite element methods
• Knowledge of efficient iterative solvers and preconditioners
• Application of suitable discretization techniques to problems in solid mechanics and fluid mechanics
• Ability to independently engage with current research topics and to work with technical literature

What the module consists of

• LecturesDelivery of content in lectures with demonstrative examples and discussion
• Exercises/Practice SessionsDeepening the lecture content through problem sets and solution proposals
• Project TeamsApplication and in-depth engagement (part of the teaching/learning format)

Teaching method

• LecturePresentation of the topics, motivation for own analysis and further self-study
