FEM in Engineering Computations II (FSI-RNU)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Jindřich Petruška, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚMTMB all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to provide students with theoretical knowledge and elementary experience with the solution of most frequent types of nonlinear
problems of solid mechanics.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students learn how to classify basic types of nonlinear behaviour in solid mechanics, they will learn their characteristics and classical solutions for some
types of problems. They can prepare numerical computational model, solve it using some of the commercial FE systems and make a rational analysis of
typical problems with divergence of the iterative process of solution.
Prerequisites:
Mathematics: linear algebra, matrix notation, functions of one and more variables, calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations.
Others: basic theory of elasticity, theory and practical knowledge of the FEM.
Course contents:
The course is a follow-up to basic lectures in solid mechanics, which are traditionally limited to linear problems, and introduces the basic nonlinearities. Material nonlinearity is represented by several models of plastic behaviour.
Next, contact problems, large displacement and large strain problems are presented. Although some classical solutions to selected nonlinear problems are mentioned (Hertz contact, deformation theory of plasticity), attention is given to numerical solution by the FEM. Above all, the relation between stability and convergence of numerical solution and physical interpretation of the analysed problem is thoroughly inspected in seminars.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Requirements for successful passing :
- active participation in seminars,
- good results in the written test of basic knowledge,
- individual preparation and presentation of seminar assignments.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at practical training is obligatory. The absence (in justified cases) is compensated by additional assignments according to the instructions of the tutor.
