In this course, students will learn the finite element method and design optimization. Topics in the finite element method will include fundamental principles, 1D formulation, and practical application to stress analysis. Design optimization includes the topics of mathematical problem definition, 1D search, sensitivity analysis, and integration with the finite element method. Students must have good understanding of solid mechanics.
