Me2353 Finite Element Analysis L T P C

This document outlines the course plan and content for the finite element analysis course ME2353. The course contains 5 units that cover finite element formulation and applications in 1D, 2D, dynamics, and heat/fluid transfer. Unit 1 introduces finite element modeling and discretization methods. Unit 2 covers 1D finite element analysis, including development of shape functions and element equations for bar and beam elements. Unit 3 discusses 2D finite element approximations and iso-parametric elements for plane stress/strain problems. Unit 4 examines dynamic analysis and modeling of vibrations. Unit 5 applies the finite element method to heat transfer and fluid mechanics problems. The course meets for 42 lectures and 18 tutorials over 60 periods. Suggested textbooks are also provided.
