CIV503

Course Description

Completion A first course on linear finite element analysis that introduces the theory of elasticity and, equilibrium and compatibility equations, virtual work principle; plane stress and plane strain conditions. This course covers the formulation of different common finite elements and study of mesh layout, refinement and convergence characteristics. Application of finite element modelling and analysis techniques applicable for various civil engineering problems are covered. Use of different software to solve typical civil engineering problems are also included in this course content
