CEE 7750 - Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis: Solids

Spring. 3 credits.

Prerequisite: CEE 6720 or equivalent.

D. Warner.

Covers fundamental aspects of nonlinear finite element analysis including geometric and material nonlinearity. Also covers total and updated Lagrangian formulations, implementation of constitutive models, numerical solutions of global nonlinear systems of equations, and regularization techniques for softening materials.
