APMA 2821I - Formulation and Approximation of Linear and Non-linear Problems of Solid Mechanics

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Presents the formulation and approximation by the Finite Element Method (FEM) of linear and non-linear problems of Solid Mechanics. The formulation of problems is based on the Virtual Work Principle (VWP). Increasing complexity problems will be considered such as simple bar under traction, beams, plates, plane problems and solids with linear and hyperelastic materials. All problems are formulated using the same sequence of presentation which includes kinematics, strain measure, rigid body deformation, internal work, external work, VWP and constitutive equations. The approximation of the given problems is based on the High-order FEM. Examples will be presented using a Matlab code.
