Course Overview
This is an introductory level course on Finite Element Method. After attending the course, the students will be able to comprehend FEM as a numerical technique to solve partial differential equations representing various physical phenomena in structural engineering. The proposed course also provides a hands-on training on translating FEM formulation into computational code in MATLAB.INTENDED-AUDIENCE:BE/B.Tech (Elective), M.Tech, PhD.PRE-REQUISITES :Solid Mechanics/Numerical methods in Engineering.INDUSTRY-SUPPORT :Civil/Mechanical/Aerospace/Ocean and naval Architecture.
