ASEN-6367 (3) Advanced Finite Element Methods for Plates, Shells, and Solids

Continues ASEN 5007. Covers more advanced FEM applications to linear static problems in structural and continuum mechanics. Focuses on modeling, formulation, and numerical solutions of problems modeled as plates, shells, and solids. Includes an overview of advanced variational formulations. Recommended prereqs., introductory graduate level course in FEM and familiarity with linear algebra. Credit not granted for this course and ASEN 5367. Prerequisites: Restricted to College of Engineering (ENGR) graduate students or Aerospace Engineering Concurrent Degree (C-ASEN) majors only.
