Nowadays, the Finite Element Method (FEM) represents one of most widespread simulation methods in modern engineering sciences. The concept of the FEM consists of a numerical procedure for the approximate solution of linear and non-linear (initial) boundary value problems which are typically represented by partial differential equations.
The lectures focus on the following subjects:
- Strong and weak form of balance equations
- Polynomial interpolation and shape functions
- Discretisation of the weak form
- Connectivity and assembly
- Master element concept
- Numerical integration
- Elastostatics
- Elastodynamics
- Heat transfer
In the exercises, the focus is placed on:
- Applications of the lecture's content
- Programming in Python
