A technical-elective advanced graduate course on the numerical solution of nonlinear structural problems by finite element methods.
This advanced course has been taught 5 times, every 2-3 years, since 1987. Web based since 1995. Computer part gradually converted from Fortran to Mathematica beginning 1996. Enrollment typically 15-25. Strongly positive feedback on Web use. Mixed reviews on switch to Mathematica, centered on limited availability.
Topics:
Course is divided into 5 parts, collectively covering a total of thirty-six 75-min lectures: - Overview
- Formulation of Nonlinear Structural Problems
- Solution of Nonlinear Equations
- Structural Stability Analysis
- Computer Implementation of Nonlinear FEM
