MEC 530 - Applied Stress Analysis

Advanced mechanics of solids and structures. Elastic boundary value problems are analyzed with various solution techniques including finite element method. Major topics are stress and strain, FEM formulations, material behavious, 2D elastic problems, stress function and fracture. Detailed studies of structural components are carried out with FEM with emphasis on optimal mesh design and proper interpretations of computed results.
