AOE 4024 - an Introduction to The Finite Element Method

Institution:

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Subject:

Description:

The finite element method is introduced as a numerical method of solving the ordinary and partial differential equations arising in fluid flow, heat transfer, and solid and structural mechanics. The classes of problems considered include those described by the second-order and fourth-order ordinary differential equations and second-order partial differential equations. Both theory and applications of the method to problems in various fields of engineering and applied sciences will be studied. Pre: 2074, MATH 2224. (3H,3 Credits).
