Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to introduce students to basic principles and some sophisticated techniques concerning the Finite Element Method (FEM) presumed for computational analyses of structures. The emphasis is mainly placed on the non-linear problems, loss of stability, excited vibration and result evaluation according to the existing norms and standards.
On completing the FEM course, the student can solve simple tasks of linear statics and natural vibration by means of the computer program COSMOS/M, COSMOSWorks individually. Based on the achieved results of the analysis, the student is able to evaluate strength and fatigue according to valid norms and standards or more precisely according to modern scientific and technical knowledge.
