FSE3121 Computational Material Mechanics 6.0 credits

The course consists of lectures, homework assignments, and seminars. In the lectures, the theory for the different topics is presented, including the numerical structure for implantation of material models in commercial FE codes. In the homework assignments, the students will perform a numerical implementation of the different parts using Matlab. The students will then present their results to each another in a seminar.

The overall purpose of the course is that the student should get a thorough understanding of the numerical implantation of FEM and the analysis methods that are available in FEM.

After the course the student should be able to

• implement new material models in commercial FE codes like Ansys, Abaqus, etc
• implement time dependent material models in an FE code

The students should have acquired knowledge that is equivalent to the basic courses
SE1010 Hållfasthetslära gkMPT
SE1020 Hållfasthetslära gkBD
SE1055 Hållfasthetslära gkF

and the courses
SE1025 FEM for engineering applications
SE2126 Material mechanics.

SE1010, SE1020 or SE1055 Solid mechanics basic course,
SE1025 FEM for engineering applications,
SE2126 Materialmechanics and
SE2132 Applied elasticity with FEM

Lecture notes

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

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.
