I want to join Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Madras for doing Finite Element Analysis course searching for details. Will you please provide me basic details about Finite Element Analysis course along with Course Contents also provide contact details for enquiry?

Course details:

Finite Element Analysis

Description

This course focuses on the fundamentals concepts and formulation of the finite element methods for solving differential equations arising in solid and fluid mechanics.

Course Contents

Continuous and discrete systems (discussion on differential equations, matrix algebra) – Energy methods: Variational principles and weighted residual techniques (least square method, collocation, sub-domain collocation, Galerkin method) for one-dimensional equation, Rayleigh-Ritz Formulation, development of bar and beam element, application to truss and frames. – Finite elements for two-dimensions: Equivalence between energy formulation and Galerkin approach, discretization concepts, choice of elements, derivation of element shape functions (Lagrangian and Hermite) in physical coordinates, Iso-parameteric mapping, numerical integration, Assembly procedure, solution techniques, introduction to finite element programming. – Applications to problems in engineering: plane elasticity, heat conduction, potential flow and Transient problems. Computer implementation.
