The Finite Element Analysis Course lays out the history, basic principles, and theory of finite element analysis. Students will be introduced to real-world applications, including, but not limited to, analysis of thin shells, fracture mechanics, reinforced beams and columns, stress analysis, earthquake analysis of structures, buckling, seepage under a dam, a medical example, registration of MRI and PET scans, and a finite element analysis of the Golden Gate Bridge. These examples come from James Mandel's work experiences, research, and technical publications he has authored along with persons instrumental in the development of the finite element method.
