Applications
of Finite Element Analysis in
College of Applied Engineering Mechanical Engineering
This introductory short course is designed to assist fresh and experienced practicing mechanical engineers new to the field of finite element modeling to gain a clear understanding of the basic concepts. The course offers insight into the theoretical aspects of finite element analysis and also covers some practical aspects of modeling. Starting with the basic concepts of FEA and FE modeling, this course covers applications of this technique in solving solid mechanics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and fracture mechanics problems. Course contents are as follows: 1. Introduction to FEM 2. Basic steps 3. FE Modeling and Meshing 4. Analysis of One-, Two-, and Three-Dimensional Mechanical Structures 5. FEM Applications to Solve General Field Problems (Equilibrium Problems, Eigenvalue Problems, Discritized Time-Dependent Problems, Fluid Mechanics Problems, Heat Transfer Problems, Fracture Problems) 6. Analysis of Piping Systems 7. Design Optimization 8. Introduction to Non-Linear FEA of Manufacturing Processes
Mechanical engineers wishing to refresh their skills in stress analysis, managers responsible for staff training in the design environment, engineers and managers wishing to ensure that new computer-based analysis tools are used safely and efficiently in the design process.
