Course content
Idealising of mechanical components. Boundary conditions. Element and system matrices for FE beams and plates. Compatible and non-compatible finite elements. Element requirements. Convergerce. Error estimate. Numerical integration. Isoparametric elements. Consistent load. Vibration. Heat transfer. Project assignment (weight 1/3): Programming the Finite element method. Modelling and analysis of mechanical products on the computer. Analysis result evaluation.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: Basic knowledge about structural design of mechanical systems. Basic theory for the Finite Element Method. Formulations for finite elements for heat transfer and stress analysis. Basic theory for dynamics and dynamic eigenvalue problems. Ability to program the finite element method.
Skills: Perform stress analysis using The Finite Element Method and analysis tools such as NX Nastran. Formulate and solve simple frame structures using the finite element method and manual calculations. Make conclusions based on analysis results.
General competence: Ability to report and present analyses, analysis results and conclusions.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, calculating problems, work in teams using FE-programs. Project teams are established at the beginning of the semester.
Further on evaluation
Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The portfolio includes a home examination (67%) and compulsory project works (33%). The results for the parts are given in %-scores, while the entire portfolio is assigned a letter grade.
If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from home examination to oral.
For a re-take of an examination, all assessments during the course must be re-taken.
Recommended previous knowledge
This subject is based on the fundamental mechanical engineering courses in strength of materials, statics and dynamics being taught for the mechanical engineering students.
