ME623A - Syllabus, References & Weightages

This document outlines the syllabus for the course ME623: Finite Element Methods in Engineering Mechanics at IIT Kanpur for the 2016-17 academic year. The course will cover 1D and 2D variational and Galerkin finite element methods applied to problems in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and heat conduction. Students will complete computer assignments applying 1D and 2D finite element analyses to static, stability, vibration, and steady-state flow problems. Evaluation will include a midterm exam, final exam, and two computer assignments. The instructor is Dr. Prakash M. Dixit and contact information is provided.
