Description

The finite element method is the most commonly used technique in engineering to compute the stresses, strains, eigenfrequencies and heat conduction (as well as other effects) within complex structures. Thus, the goal of this course is to impart the basic principles of the finite element method and to educate the students in applying commercial software.
