| Description: | Introduction to the use of finite lement methods for analysis and design. Applications involving
stress analysis and heat transfer of solids. The use of existing software and hardware for computer-aided engineering.
|
||
 |
|||
| Organization: | Homework problems and a final project will be assigned during the semester for analysis and design of mechanical parts.
Ansys, which is a commerical finite elemnet program designed fo rsolution of multiphysics problems, will be used throughout the course.
Emphasis will be on stress analysis and heat transfer of solids.
