Catalog description: Advanced topics in finite element analysis, emphasized on nonlinear problems including nonlinear elasticity, hyperelasticity, elastoplasticity (small and large deformation), and contact problems.
The objective of this course is to learn advanced topics in finite element methods so that this tool can be used for analysis, design, and optimization of engineering systems. Due to the variety of topics, specific topic will be emphasized in each year. The course offered in spring 2017 will focus on nonlinear structural analysis. Various nonlinearities in structural problems will be studied in the mathematical and numerical aspects. Students will also be exposed in computer programming and use of commercial finite element programs.
Catalog description: Structural optimization via calculus of variations. Application of techniques of numerical optimization to design of truss, frames, and composite laminates. Calculation of sensitivity of structural response. Approximation and fast reanalysis techniques. Optimality criteria methods.
The objective of the course is to learn the fundamentals of engineering optimization with emphasis on the underlying theory, optimality criteria, and discrete and continuum design sensitivity as well as providing hands on experience using commercial optimization software to formulate and solve design optimization problems of relevance to mechanical and aerospace engineers.
Catalog description: Formulation of design objectives as optimization problems. Application of optimization techniques to design. Introduction to approximations (surrogates) based on computer simulations or experiments, including polynomial response surfaces, kriging, radial basis functions, and neural networks. Estimation of prediction errors and design of experiments. Analysis and design under uncertainty.
The objective of this course is to introduce students to the use of engineering optimization under uncertainty based on the use of approximations (also called surrogates or metamodels) with the aid of a design project.
Catalog description: Stress-strain analysis and design of machine elements; finite element analysis; optimization techniques.
The objective of this course is to teach how to design, analyze and optimize structural components of machine system. The course exposes students to analytical and numerical methods for computing stresses and strains in structures, use of finite element software for static structural analysis and the application of design and failure criteria to ensure that mechanical components can carry the design load without failure. Another important area of the course is to make the students recognize the importance of self-education and life learning.
