3.00 Credits
Examines the implementation of finite element methods. Consideration is first given to the techniques used in classic finite element programs. Attention then focuses on development of a general geometry-based code which effectively supports higher order adaptive technique. Technical areas covered include: effective construction of element matrices for p-version finite elements, ordering of unknowns, automatic mesh generation, adaptive mesh improvement, program and database structures. Implementation of automated adaptive techniques on parallel computers is also covered. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: CIVL 6660, MANE 6660, CSCI 6860 or MATH 6860. When Offered: Spring term odd-numbered years. Cross Listed: Cross-listed as MANE 6680. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and MANE 6680. Credit Hours: 3

This course focuses on generalized weighted residual methods and multifield variational principles for constructing approximate solutions to sets of governing differential equations and associated boundary conditions. Topics include hybrid and mixed methods, boundary element formulations, p-version finite elements, global/local procedures, and penalty methods. Problem areas include solid mechanics (nearly incompressible solids, plates, and shells), fluid mechanics including compressible flows, and heat transfer. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: CIVL 6660 or MANE 6660. When Offered: Spring term even-numbered years. Cross Listed: (Cross listed as MANE 6690. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and MANE 6690.) Credit Hours: 3

3.00 Credits
Solutions to the free vibration and transient dynamic responses of two-and three-dimensional structures by the finite element method are considered. The governing finite element matrix equations are derived and numerical aspects of solving these time-dependent equations considered. Topics include the formulation of the eigenvalue problem, algorithms for eigenvalue extraction, time integration methods including stability and accuracy analysis, and finite elements in time. Modal analysis and direct time integration techniques are compared for a variety of two-and three-dimensional problems. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: CIVL 6660 or MANE 6660. When Offered: Fall term odd-numbered years. Cross Listed: Cross-listed as MANE 6700. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and MANE 6700. Credit Hours: 3

3.00 Credits
State-of-the-art in computational modeling of failure processes in materials. Topics include numerical modeling of discrete defects, distributed damage and multiscale computational techniques including multiple scale perturbation techniques, boundary layer techniques, and various global-local approaches. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: CIVL 6660 or MANE 6660. When Offered: Spring term even-numbered years. Cross Listed: Cross-listed as MANE 6780. Credit Hours: 3

Civil engineering graduate students present seminars about their research to an audience composed of students and faculty and participate in discussions about the research of others. The course consists of one-hour weekly meetings. The faculty member in charge of the course helps the students develop their presentation skills. This course is required to be taken once by master's students and twice by Ph.D. students. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 0
-
0.00 Credits
Seminars by distinguished guest speakers. All undergraduates and graduates are strongly encouraged to attend as many lectures as possible. When Offered: Fall and spring terms. Credit Hours: 0

Active participation in a semester-long project, under the supervision of a faculty adviser. A Professional Project often serves as a culminating experience for a Professional Master's program but, with departmental or school approval, can be used to fulfill other program requirements. With approval, students may register for more than one Professional Project. Professional Projects must result in documentation established by each department or school, but are not submitted to the Graduate School and are not archived in the library. Grades of A, B, C, or F are assigned by the faculty adviser at the end of the semester. If not completed on time, a formal Incomplete grade may be assigned by the faculty adviser, listing the work remaining to be completed and the time limit for completing this work.

1.00 - 9.00 Credits
Active participation in a master's-level project under the supervision of a faculty adviser, leading to a master's project report. Grades of IP are assigned until the master's project has been approved by the faculty adviser. If recommended by the adviser, the Master's Project may be accepted by the Office of Graduate Education to be archived in the Library. Grades will then be listed as Credit Hours: 1 to 9
