Advanced Finite Element Analysis aims at teaching
advanced level finite element concepts in a mechanics
perspective to graduate level students. The course starts
with a complete review of fundamental finite element
concepts like discretization of equilibrium equation,
interpolation functions, line-surface-volume integrals,
Gauss-Quadrature, isoparametric elements, application of
essential and natural boundary conditions. Later, finite
element elastic analysis concepts and principals for plate &
shell elements would be introduced. In the course modeling
of the orthotropic (anisotropic) elastic behavior of
composites and how to incorporate this material behavior to
the finite element models will be shown with worked
examples. Next topic is the material and geometric non-
linearities and the numerical solution methods of non-linear
finite element analysis will be studied. Finally, meshless
interpolation concepts such as moving least squares and
element free Galerkin methods will be introduced. Matlab
will be used as the coding environment during the course.
Students will be asked to implement finite element codes in
order to get a better understanding of finite element
working principles of a commercial finite element software.
In the course project, the students would prepare their own
finite element analysis code for a given plate\shell type
element type in MATLAB environment. In addition
working principals and development of user-defined
subroutines will be illustrated using “UMAT” of ABAQUS
as a commercial finite element software.
