me 4303 - computational methods in mechanics (3) f

a study of matrix formulation and modern numerical methods used in the analysis of engineering programs and the application of the finite element method in solid mechanics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. topics include the formulation of rod, beam, plane stress/strain, 2-d heat transfer, and other basic elements along with modeling techniques and error analysis.

prerequisites: me 3313, me 3803 both with a minimum grade of “c.”
lecture, 3 hours.
