SE2128 Computational Material Mechanics 7.5 credits

Course offerings are missing for current or upcoming semesters.
Headings with content from the Course syllabus SE2128 (Spring 2011–) are denoted with an asterisk ( )

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

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.

Intended learning outcomes

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

Ethical approach

  • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
  • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
  • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
