MECH 4510 - Finite Element Analysis

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

Fundamentals of finite element methods and its application in engineering design and analysis. The first half of the course will cover the basic concepts of Finite Element Methods including elements types and properties, mesh optimization and introduction to software and its workflow. The second half the course will focus on use of software in solving various engineering problems. Lectures on design optimization, model calibration, and result accuracy will also be included. ***COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)*** At the successful conclusion of this course students will be able to: 1. Describe the mathematical and physical principles underlying the Finite Element Method (FEM) as applied to solid mechanics, thermal analysis and fluid mechanics. 2. Analyze complex problems (in solid mechanics or thermal analysis) using commercial FEM software. 3. Design and optimize engineering components using finite element analysis. 4. Solve multi-physics engineering problems. 5. Acquire and apply new knowledge using appropriate learning strategies. Prerequisites: MECH 2250 (grade C- or higher) OR Instructor Permission. SP
