MECH 435 - Finite Elements for Engineering Applications

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisites: CIVL 203, CIVL 304, MECH 315
Emphasizes solving various 1-dimensional, transient, non-linear problem statements including heat conduction, beam deflection, convection/diffusion (transport), gas dynamic shocks, and open channel flows. Assesses higher order bases, time stepping procedures, iterative solvers, and finite difference methodologies. Utilizes MATLAB for computational experiments.
