The course will enable delegates to understand the fundamental principles of finite element technologies, to have an appreciation of some advanced aspects and to demonstrate their application through the solution of a number of simulations. The finite element method is described in the framework of structural mechanics, providing displacement, stress and strain solutions. The classical formulation of the finite element descriptions are used and applied to a number of benchmark problems. Detailed theoretical developments are also presented and assessed.
The course will enable delegates to place the finite element method in the context of structural analysis, structural mechanics and other matrix-based approaches, and provide:
Formal assessment may be available for this Course. Assessment attracts an additional fee of £260.00, and delegates will be issued with a transcript and Certificate of Credit Achieved.
Owing to visa restrictions the assessment option is not available to international students.
This course is also delivered as a Module on at least one of the School's Masters programmes; delegates will attend with full and part time registered students. The Academic Module Outline is available via the University's Module Catalogue.
