Kursinformation

The main goal of this course is to qualify students to numerically solve linear engineering problems by providing a sound methodological basis of the finite element method. In addition to numerical analysis of 1D, 2D and 3D solid elements, and structural elements such as beams and plates, the spectrum of possible applications includes analyses of transport processes such as heat conduction. In homeworks the students shall apply the basics of the Linear Finite Element Methods learnt in the lectures and exercises to solve structural-mechanical problems by means of hand calculations.
