CEE 6720 - Introduction to Finite Element Method


Fall. 3 credits.

Prerequisite: CEE 3710 , CEE 3720 , and CEE 4710 . Co-meets with  .

W. Aquino.

Covers the formulation of the finite element method in 2-D and 3-D continuum, basic 2-D and 3-D continuum isoparametric elements, modeling and programming aspects of the finite element method, and static and transient problems. A large part of the course is devoted to understanding element formulations, testing elements (patch test), and addressing problems such as shear and volumetric locking, among others. Emphasis is placed on understanding fundamental aspects of the method for making intelligent use of commercial software and obtaining a strong background for moving to further study and research.
