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.
