The aim of the unit is to explore advanced analytical methods in the field of Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Topics to be addressed in this unit include: Non-linear FEA (Implicit): Non-linear procedures, material non-linearity, geometric non-linearity and boundary non-linearity (Contact). The explicit method: Explicit time integration and theoretical overview and application. Structure optimisation: Topology, size and shape, and topography.Assessment -- Course Website
