Description
The Finite Element Method for Nonlinear Structural Analysis. This course is a partial version of the full course on the Finite Element Method for Nonlinear Structural Analysis. The course is designed for engineers and researchers who already have a solid understanding of linear finite element analysis (FEA). Participants are encouraged to have completed the prerequisite course on linear structural analysis or have equivalent knowledge. This course combines theoretical depth with practical projects to enable participants to confidently analyze complex nonlinear phenomena using the Student Edition of Abaqus CAE and the BETA CAE tools ANSA and META. The full course is structured into nine comprehensive modules and covers the full spectrum of nonlinearities, including materials, geometry, and contact. It also develops the general formulation of nonlinear analysis progressively using tensor notation and principles of variation. In this introductory course, the first and second modules include an overview of types of nonlinearities, conceptual insights, introductory simulations, and solving simple nonlinear problems including plasticity, large deformations, structural instabilities, and basic contact modeling with the GAP element to enhance insight and understanding before entering into general formulation.
