Course credits: 7.5 ECTSDescriptionThe purpose of this course is to give engineers, scientists and researchers a deeper insight into the finite element method with an emphasis on methodologies and applications for non-linear problems. The first part of the course introduces fundamental theoretical background and computer implementations. The second part of the course deals with non-linear FE modelling of concrete structures. Content and ObjectivesThe aims of the course are to give knowledge on: General concepts in Non-linear FEM
Non-linear FE modelling of concrete structures
o Cracking and crushing of concrete o Time dependent effects o Degradation
Prerequisites
