FHK3009 Dynamic Finite Element Analysis 10.0 credits

The course content and written exam is decided from the needs of the present graduate students.

Theory and practical use of dynamic FAE is studied. A comprehensive introduction to the methods and theory of nonlinear FEA is provided. The course is suited for users, which have limited experience and want an introduction to the theoretical background for dynamic FEA.

• Continuum mechanics
• Lagrangian and Eulerian finite elementformulations
• Implicit and explicit finite element methods
• Constitutive models
• Solution methods and stability
• Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formulations
• Element technology
• Contact algorithms

To introduce theoretical background for dynamic Finite Element Analysis, FEA.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Seminars, individual activity and modeling tasks.

Attended seminars and approved tasks.
