TEACHING METHODS Lectures and exercises in computer lab SYLLABUS/CONTENT Matrix methods for discrete beam structures (frames and pin joined beam structures). The finite element method fundamentals : shape functions, convergence criteria, error estimation. The most common 2D and 3D finite elements : theory bases and application examples. Mesh generation by direct methods and by using mesh generation tools. Discretization criteria. Dynamics, heat transfer and structural optimization problems solved by finite element techniques. Worked examples developed using the general purpose FEM code ANSYS RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Lecture notes. Any text in Finite Element Method (e.g. O. C. Zienkiewicz : “The finite element method”- III Ed. , McGraw Hill, London ) TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD FLAVIA LIBONATI Ricevimento: Contact the teacher by email to schedule an appointment (flavia.libonati@unige.it) MATTIA FRASCIO Exam Board LUIGI CARASSALE (President) MASSIMILIANO AVALLE FLAVIA LIBONATI (President Substitute) ABDELHAKIM BOURAS (Substitute) FLAVIA CARONNA (Substitute) MATTIA FRASCIO (Substitute) DAVIDE IAFFALDANO (Substitute) LUDOVICO MUSENICH (Substitute) ALESSANDRO REBORA (Substitute) ALESSANDRO STAGNI (Substitute) LESSONS LESSONS START https://corsi.unige.it/en/corsi/9269 Class schedule The timetable for this course is available here: Portale EasyAcademy EXAMS EXAM DESCRIPTION Examination in a computer lab, to solve thermo-structural problems by using the ANSYS code Exam schedule Data appello Orario Luogo Degree type Note 15/01/2025 15:00 GENOVA Laboratorio 15/01/2025 15:00 GENOVA Orale 05/02/2025 15:00 GENOVA Laboratorio 05/02/2025 15:00 GENOVA Orale 11/06/2025 15:00 GENOVA Laboratorio 11/06/2025 15:00 GENOVA Orale 25/06/2025 15:00 GENOVA Laboratorio 25/06/2025 15:00 GENOVA Orale 08/09/2025 15:00 GENOVA Laboratorio 08/09/2025 15:00 GENOVA Orale FURTHER INFORMATION Pre-requisites : None beyond Master admissions pre-requisites
