Name of Faculty: Prof.A.S.Patil

Subject : Finite Element Analysis

Semester: II

Year: BE

Division: A & B

Planned Duration: 52 hrs

Course outcome:
Explain the importance of FEM to solve complex engineering problems.
Derive and use 1-D and 2-D element stiffness matrices and load vectors from various methods to solve for displacements and stresses.
Apply mechanics of materials and machine design topics to provide preliminary results used for testing the reasonableness of finite element results.
Explain the inner workings of a finite element code for linear stress, displacement, temperature and modal analysis.
Interpret the results of finite element analyses and make an assessment of the results in terms of modeling (physics assumptions) errors, discretization
(mesh density and refinement toward convergence) errors, and numerical (round-off) errors.
CO6: Explain the role of FEM in heat transfer and dynamic loading conditions.
