Course offered as a part of a programme
About the course
The objective of the course is for the student to grasp basic theories of finite element methods, as well as to obtain a basic overall view of different types of constitutive laws. The student shall be able to apply this theoretical knowledge in a small project at the end of the course.
This course is offered as part of a programme:
Computational Materials Science, Master's Programme (Two-Year)
