ENPM652

Restriction: Must not have completed ENME674; and must not have completed ENAE652. Credit only granted for: ENME674, ENAE652, or ENPM652. For engineering and science students with little or no previous knowledge of the FEM. Study of FEM, using straightforward mathematics. Students should understand basic concepts and equations of elasticity and thermal heat flow, be familiar with simple matrix algebra. Covers stress analysis and thermal analysis problems. ANSYS finite element code will be used for examples and homework solutions. Basic problem solving procedure will be developed for using finite element computer codes. This course is fully asynchronous and online, but is the equivalent time commitment of 2-3 hours lectures per week.
