Summary
This subject forms the grounds for using of finite elements methods in technical praxis. The subject formulates the nonlinear mechanics of continuum. The grounds are: general formulations of continuum mechanics, the grounds of linearization, introduction to variational methods, finally the application of finite elements method for concrete types of problems of linear mechanics of materials.

Subject syllabus:
Subject includes an explication of FEM foundations for linear structural problems and also has practical focus:
1. Lecture – Elementary thought of FEM. Selection of interpolator functions. Types of elements. Derivation of stiffness matrix of a truss element. Equations of an elasticity mathematical theory. Minimal principle of potential energy. Process at FEM calculation. Conditions of convergence.
2. Lecture – assembly of global stiffness matrix and right side. Foundations of Ansys Workbench (description of individual models, work with help). Example 1: application example – beam in 3D.
3. Lecture – Computational modelling. Simplified exercises from 3D to 1D and 2D. Example 2: wrenche.
4. Lecture – Choice of boundary conditions. Singularity. Reading geometry from CAD model and its modification. Example 3: symmetry usage.
5. Lecture- Error of FEM calculation (aposteriori estimate). Adaptive FEM algorithm (h-method). Example 4: Think walled pressure tin.
6. Lecture - Seminary work.
7. Lecture – Seminary work.
8. Lecture – Seminary work.
