Eligibility
General entry requirements for Master's level (second cycle)
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Specific entry requirements
English 6 (or by other approved means with the equivalent proficiency level)
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Course specific prerequisites
Mechanics of solids TME235, Material mechanics MHA042, Finite element method ¿ structures TME245, or courses from other universities with the equivalent contents.
Aim
The aim is to provide the student with further understanding of the nature of the Finite Element Method (FEM), in particular its approximate character, and to provide extended skill in applying FEM to engineering problems related to solid mechanics. Hence, the course builds on knowledge acquired in continuum mechanics (mechanics of solid bodies), material modeling and the application of FEM to basic problems. Computer assignments play a key role as the means of implementing and assessing models and algorithms.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- carry ut goal-oriented error computation for linear as well as nonlinear problems and construct adaptive methods
- establish FE-algorithms for finite strain hyper elasticity
- formulate mixed FE-methods
- formulate FE-methods for problems involving incompressibility (elasticity)
- formulate and solve non-standard FE-problems characterized by the coupling of several physical fields (poroelasticity, thermoelasticity, electroelasticity)
Content
- Error control and adaptive methods
- Finite deformation hyperelasticity
- Contact of solid bodies
- Mixed methods, incompressible elasticity
- Multifield/coupled problems: poromechanics, thermomechanics, electromechanics
