Description

The course introduces a range of numerical and analytical modelling techniques and then applies them to situations faced in materials science and engineering. Initially the pre-requisite knowledge is reviewed. Topics then covered are finite difference modelling and finite element modelling. These techniques are then applied to stress analysis, and heat transfer. A number of commercial software packages are introduced as well as designing computer programs to suit specific situations.
