Course description

Finite element method has been widely used to analyze deformation of materials (mechanical equilibrium equation), thermal diffusion (heat diffusion equation) and fluid flow (Navier-Stokes equation). Nowadays, various finite element simulation software are available and used to develop new industrial products. Therefore, engineers need to know fundamental theories and principals of finite element method.
Expected Learning

This lecture gives to students the necessary fundamental theories and principals of finite element method. Furthermore, this lecture provides some opportunities to perform fundamental programming exercise and finite element simulation.
