Summary
The course follows the course Numerical Methods of Mechanics II. Extends the basics for the use of the finite element method in technical practice to the problem of stationary and non-stationary problems in the field of nonlinear mechanics. Furthermore, other numerical methods usable in problems of mechanics of flexible bodies will be discussed.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Teach a students the basic procedures for solving of ground technical problems of continuum mechanics. Ensure understanding of teaching problems. To learn the students if they can apply gained theoretical peaces of knowledge in praxis.
