Course description

This course introduces the concepts, formulations, and applications of the finite elements method (FEM) for the analysis of structures composed of classical and innovative construction materials (composite materials) under static and dynamic loading. The course focuses on linear problems, however it provides a small introduction to the non linear analysis of structures. The different methods presented will cover the majority of the structural tipologies in engineering such as dams, tunnels, tanks, shells, buildings, bridges, structural and mechanical components, etc. The details for the formulation with finite elements are provided together with the most important computational aspects, allowing the students to get involved in FEM programming for structural analysis problems.
