Credit(s): 3

INTRO TO FINITE ELEMENT METHOD
Component: Lecture
Discusses the following approximate solution techniques: finite difference method, weighted residual and variational methods, and the finite element method. Develops finite element solutions for various one- and two-dimensional problems in applied mechanics. Detailed discussions of various aspects associated with the finite element method (e.g., interpolation functions, element mapping, programming techniques).
