Overview
Key facts
In this Non-linear Modeling course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) students will gain:
- a strong theoretical understanding of non-linear FEM
- how to apply non-linear FEM to practical engineering problems
- efficient modeling and solution techniques
- understanding for the importance of verification and validation
While the previous course, linear modelling, is the required background, working professionals who are experienced with structural/stress analysis may choose to enroll directly in this course.
Programme Structure
- Computational methods in structural analysis are of prime importance in industry as tools to assess the efficiency and performance of structures in the field of aerospace, mechanical, civil and biomedical engineering. The reduced performance and destructive failure of structures is mostly due to the effects of small physical and geometric non-linearities. The combination of theoretical and practical knowledge in finite element analysis are valuable skills with which to address such problems in industry.
- In order to efficiently model a real life engineering problem using finite element analysis and predict its future behavior, an engineer must possess a strong theoretical understanding of non-linearities in the finite element method (FEM) along with the understanding of the importance of verification and validation of such computational models.
