Description
In this course you will learn: Key formulations for 2D, 3D beam elements in Finite Element Analysis (FEA)Two-node beam element and its formulationsHow to deal with complex 3D beam structuresHow to write FEM codes in MATLAB to analyse complex 3D beam structuresHow to write input files and run FEA in ANSYSHow to calculate stress, strain in complex beam structuresHow to attract ANSYS results and make comparison between the results from your own FEM codes and ANSYSDuring the course, you will conduct FEA for various beam structures in the following projects: Single cantilever beam. An L-frame.2D roof structure.3D roof structure. Frames of a 60 m high building. An offshore structure/ jacket platform. A 2D lattice structure with negative Poisson's ratio. A 3D lattice structure with negative Poisson's ratio (homework). Stress and strain calculationsMATLAB codes for all projects are available for download and practice. ANSYS input files for all projects are available for download and practice. Lecture notes (PowerPoints) for all tutorials are are available for download. Additional supports will always available up on request. Coupon is available up on request. About me: I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering of the University of Strathclyde. I received a Ph. D. in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. My research interests focus on Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI), Fracture Mechanics, Peridynamics, Fatigue, Corrosion, Machine Learning.
