Subject matter
The syllabus of the curriculum unit is personalized for each student, according to the research plan defined for its doctoral program by the student''s Advisor. Miscellaneous topics will be studied, such as:
- Theoretical basis of the FEM. Characterization of the obtained solutions. Validation and verification. Convergence and error estimates.
- Types of finite element and their application in Civil Engineering structures. One-dimensional elements: rod, grid, rod 3D; Two-dimensional finite elements: plane, plate and shell; Three-dimensional finite elements.
- Meshes in finite element discretization: basic principles of mesh generatio, results analysis and interpolation of obtainde results, analysis of results near singularities.
- Global analysis models of buildings. Modeling of structural walls and central core.
- Analysis models for bridge decks.
- Formulation of the FEM to physical and geometrically nonlinear problems.
