CourseDescription: Thiscoursewillprovideageneralpreparationinfiniteelementmethodswithan emphasis on structural analysis. The course is intended for graduate engineering, science, and mathematics students who will pursue further work and research in specialized areas such as structural mechanics,elasticity,plasticity,fracturemechanicaldesign,heattransfer,andnumericalmechanics. Communication: The best way to reach me is via email. Be sure to put the course number (MAE 533) in the subject so that I will know that your message is about MAE 533. If you need to discuss somethingwithmebytelephone,pleaseemailmesothatwecanarrangeaconvenienttimeforaphone call. I will attempt to respond to all emails within 24 hours. I do not ordinarily check my email on weekends. If I receive several emails from students addressing the same concern/question, then I will sendaglobalemailresponsetoallcourseparticipants. Project: A semester project is required that involves the application of finite element analysis of a mechanical component. The project requires the use of finite element software like ANSYS. The specific project is left open to the student. Typically, good projects are derived from design problems that you maybefamiliarwithinyourjobassignment.Projectisdueonthelastdayofclasses. AuditCredit: project. To receive audit credit for this course, the student must submit an acceptable course
