Engineering Computational Methods

 

Synopsis

The course aims to provide knowledge, understanding and ability for students to analyze problems using the finite element method. This course covers topics such as fundamental theory in finite element methods, variational methods, 1, 2 and 3 dimensional problems, linear and non-linear concepts, method of solution, mesh and adaptive mesh, error estimations, analysis and error estimation, fundamental of finite volume methods, problems of diffusion, advection-difusion and transient, basic theory of finite boundary methods, Laplace, Poisson, and wave equations. Introduction to discrete element method, meshless, x-FEM, molecular dynamics, artificial intelligent and the latest technology in space, time and multiscale computational methods. This course combines theory and practice of computational engineering method for solving engineering problems. At the end of the course, a project will be given to students using to solve using some software.
