By the end of this course, students should successfully be able to:

  • Explain linear static assumptions.
  • Demonstrate the derivation of element stiffness matrix using the direct method as well as the potential energy approach.
  • Relate the concepts of a global stiffness matrix, nodal degrees of freedom, and boundary condition definitions.
  • Relate element order to shape functions; isoparametric mapping to mesh quality.
  • Express the role of numerical integration in the finite element method.
  • Construct, execute, and interpret linear structural finite element models.

This is the first course in our Certification in Practice of Finite Element Principles program. It was previously offered as Finite Element Principles in Linear Static Analysis, but the name was changed to better reflect the content and mission of the course.
