Module title:Advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Module codeENGM003
Module lecturers:Prof Tim Dodwell
Module credits:15

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is an important tool for mechanical engineers that is used in analysis, optimisation, and design of material and engineering components. This course will provide you with a deeper knowledge in FEA at the frontiers of modern engineering research. This module will guide you how to employ commercial FEA packages to solve advanced problems numerically and to understand the underlying mathematical challenges of solving such problems. You will learn about the concept of nonlinear elasticity (hyperelasticity), elasto-plasticity (large-deformation), poro-mechanics and contact mechanics; across a broad range of examples.
