DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: This session will provide an introduction to the basics of solid mechanics and the stress strain relationships in solids. It will also introduce the finite element method as a computational modeling approach for structural mechanics as well as multiphysics applications that are too complicated to be addressed by analytical methods. The session will introduce the participants to the finite element package: Elmer. Elmer is an open source multi-physical program with powerful solvers for applications in structural mechanics, heat transfer, electromagnetic fields, acoustics and others. Elmer is developed by a group of Finnish universities jointly with the Finnish state computer center. Elmer is available on both Windows and Linux based platforms and works with MPI environments.=0A=0AAssumed background: basic computer literacy; first year engineering curriculum or equivalent.
