Objectives:
The students of mechanical engineering should know and apply FEM which is a powerful numerical solution technique applied extensively for analysis of engineering field problems.
Course Outcomes:
Students will demonstrate:
1.
To understand FEM
and its application fields.
2.
To improve
computer skills by using FEM-system programs
3.
To apply FEM for
analysis in design problems.
4.
To use FEM for
analysis of miscellaneous engineering problems

Grading:
1 Midterm (20%) One midterm will be given during lecture
hours.
4 HW Assignments (20%) Four homework assignments will be given to
promote and test understanding of FEM fundamentals and part analysis. In the term project, the students will
develop the solid model of a 3-D part and analyze using a commercial FEM package. Some of the midterm questions may be similar
to the homework questions. Homework
assignments will be prepared individually by every student.
1 Term Project (%20) Term project.
Details will be announced later.
1 Final (40%) Final exam will cover all the topics of the
course

Additional announcements on
the course will be provided in the board next to Rm.428 and in the web site: http://www.mkn.itu.edu.tr/~kocabash
