Course Objectives: To impart knowledge about various finite element techniques and development of finite element code.

Course Outcome: The learner will be able to solve continuum problems using finite element analysis.

UNIT – I : Introduction: Concepts of FEM – steps involved – merits and demerits – energy principles – Discretization – Raleigh – Ritz method of functional approximation. Principles of Elasticity: Stress equations – strain displacement relationships in matrix form plane stress, plane strain and axi-symmetric bodies of revolution with axi-symmetric loading.

UNIT – II : One dimensional FEM:Stiffness matrix for beam and bar elements – shape functions for 1-D elements. Two dimensional FEM: Different types of elements for plane stress and plane strain analysis – displacement models – generalized coordinates – shape functions – convergent and compatibility requirements – geometric invariance – natural coordinate system – area and volume coordinates – generation of element stiffness and nodal load matrices

UNIT – III : Isoparametric formulation:Concept – different isoparametric elements for 2D analysis -formulation of 4- noded and 8-noded isoparametric quadrilateral elements – Lagrange elements – serendipity elements. Axi Symmetric Analysis:bodies of revolution – axi symmetric modeling – strain displacement relationship – formulation of axi symmetric elements. Three dimensional FEM:Different 3-D elements-strain-displacement relationship –formulation of hexahedral and isoparametric solid element.
