ILTOF07 - Finite Elements Method in Fracture Mechanics
ILTOF07 course - Finite Elements Method in Fracture Mechanics
Author: Prof. Ihor Rokach
The course is divided in 2 parts:
Part 1: Finite Elements Method: an introduction
Part 2: FEM in Fracture Mechanics: applications of FEM to fracture mechanics problems
If you are already expert in the FEM method, you may wish to start directly with the second part of the course.
Introduction to the course
Part 1: Finite Element Method (FEM), an introduction: linear spring as the simplest finite element, FEM step-by-step, 1D example; shape functions for linear and quadratic elements, general procedure of stiffness matrix calculation, finite elements in 2D and 3D.
