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. Same as CVEN 5511. Requisites: Requires prerequisite courses of CVEN 3161, CVEN 3525, APPM 2360 or MATH 3130 and MATH 4430 (all minimum grade C-).
