CVEN-4511 (3) Introduction to Finite Element Analysis

Systematic formulation of finite element approximation and isoparametric interpolation (weighted residual and energy methods, triangular and quadrilateral elements). Includes computation applications to the solution of one- and two-dimensional stress-deformation problems, steady and transient heat conduction, and viscous flow. Prereqs., CVEN 3161, 3525, and Appm 2360. Same as CVEN 5511.
