OBJECTIVES:
 To develop a thorough understanding of the basic principles of the finite element analysis
techniques with an ability to effectively use the tools of the analysis for solving practical
problems arising in engineering design
OUTCOME:
Upon understanding this course the students will be able to
 Understand how to mathematically model physical systems and solve using numerical
techniques.
 Select appropriate element and boundary conditions for various 1D, 2D Boundary
problems.
 Apply various solution techniques to solve Boundary value problems and Eigen value
problems

NOTE
At the post-graduate level of instruction the contact hours are to be supplemented by self study by
students. As for the examination, modelling considerations, choice of elements, boundary
conditions, loading conditions, and basic procedures only need to be emphasized without
expecting a complete numerical solution to practical problems.
