Course Description This course deals with the analysis and design of structural element composites constituted of orthotropic laminates such as laminated beams and plates. The course looks at their strength, deflection, and buckling, as well as the mechanics of their fracture. Also a finite element formulation is discussed. Objectives To enable the student analyse and...Read More

Course Description This course deals with the Boundary Element Method as yet another useful technique of solving governing differential equations with applications to one and two dimensional problems of steady-state potential flow and elasto-static and time dependent problems. Computer algorithms are developed and applications in various engineering fields discussed. Objectives To equip the student with...Read More

Course Description This course deals with several constitutive models for materials including linear-elastic, non-linear elastic hyper-elastic, hypo-elastic, variable modulii incremental, elastic-perfectly plastic fracture etc. The course also introduces the finite element formulation for elasto-plastic problems. Objectives To expose the student to the several material constitutive models available to predict the structural response of elements subjected...Read More
