Course unit
Last updated: 22/02/2024
EditThe aim is to acquire the basic notions of thermo-mechanical solution procedures, degenerate structural elements, such as beams, plates and casings, of non-linear behaviour and contact problems encountered in the field of biomechanical engineering.
The course is divided into two units: the first a series of course sessions and supervised studies on the three application fields of the finite element method.
- Thermics and thermo-mechanics: modelling and solutions to thermal and thermo-mechanical problems by finite elements
- Structures: introduction to degenerate structural elements, such as beams, plates and casings
- Biomechanical modelling: modelling of simple biomechanical problems of hypo - or hyper- elastic behaviour and solutions to contact problems.
A practical course follows with a calculation code in finite elements by machine.
