Method of Finite Elements II

Fall Semester 2023

The Method of Finite Elements II forms a continuation of the course on Method of Finite Elements I. Here, we explore the theoretical and numerical implementation concepts for the FE analysis of phenomena that lie beyond the linear elastic behavior.

This course aims to offer students with the skills to perform complex FEM-based simulations. It does not serve as introduction to commercial software.
