CVEN-4525 (3) Matrix Structural Analysis

Covers matrix formulation of principles of structural analysis and development of direct stiffness and flexibility methods for analysis of 2D and 3D structures. Variational formulation of the finite element method. Geometric nonlinearity. Familiarity with Metlab programming is expected. Same as CVEN 5525. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of CVEN 3525 (minimum grade C-).
