Course 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:

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
Others:
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
