This course provides an introduction to the finite element analysis (FEA) method, covering finite element formulation techniques and element properties. It explores the application of FEA for one, two, and three degrees of freedom elements, as well as for two-dimensional and three-dimensional solids. The course also includes the finite element method for plates and shells, emphasizing practical applications across various engineering problems. Students will gain foundational knowledge and skills in applying FEA to solve complex structural and mechanical challenges.
