MEEN 716 - Finite Element Methods

3 Credit(s)
This course covers fundamental concepts of the finite element method for linear stress and deformation analysis of mechanical components. Topics include the development of truss, beam, frame, plane stress, plane strain, axisymmetric isoparametric, solid, thermal, and fluid elements. ANSYS and NASTRAN software will be used for solving particle stress analysis problems.
