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. This course is based on the course Finite Element Methods I and elaborates further aspects and applications of the Finite Element Method.
The lectures focus on the following subjects:
- Nonlinear elasticity (at small strains)
- Elastoplasticity
- Selected topics
In the exercises, the focus is placed on:
- Applications of the lecture's content
- Programming in Python
