CEE 7750 - [Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis: Solids]

Spring. 3 credits.

Next offered 2014-2015.

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.
