Welcome - Finite Element Solution of Linear Partial Differential Equations ENGM 6659   Finite Element Solution of Linear Partial Differential Equations
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course covers aspects of the solution of linear static and dynamic partial differential equations through the use of finite element models derived from the Galerkin approximation. Emphasis is placed on the derivation of the approximate matrix equations from the strong form of the boundary value problem and on issues concerning the accuracy of the solution, on integration techniques, completeness, and element tests. Students are expected to code and validate an element appropriate to their specific research interests.
PREREQUISITES: Familiarity with partial differential equations and numerical linear algebra.
