Description
Introduction to the theory and application of finite element methods. The relationship with virtual work, Rayleigh-Ritz, system of linear equations, polynomial interpolation, numerical integration, and theory of elasticity is explored. Isoparametric formulations of structural and plane elements are examined. Geotechnical and nonlinear problems are introduced.

Conditions and arrangements
- Prerequisite(s): CIVE 3203 .
- Also offered at the graduate level, with different requirements, as CIVE 5103 , for which additional credit is precluded.
- Lectures three hours a week, problem analysis three hours alternate weeks.
