Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis Home Page
This short course on Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis
has been very well received since 1985, with offerings
alternating in Europe and the U.S. It has been attended by
more than 2500 students, and their evaluations of the course
have categorized the course as being essential training in
the field. It is taught by two leading experts in the field
of computational mechanics, who have won the most
prestigious awards in their field and are well known for
their presentation skills (see biographies). The course
starts with a review of the basics of nonlinear finite
element analysis, constitutive equations, element design and
selection, and solvers. It then progresses to
state-of-the-art methods, including current topics such as
the extended finite element method, isogeometric methods,
multiscale methods and mesh free methods. Important concepts
are clearly explained so that students can obtain a thorough
grounding in and overview of nonlinear finite element
analysis.

Course Objectives
The purpose of this short course is to provide engineers,
scientists and researchers with an understanding of the
fundamentals and a critical survey of the state-of-art of
nonlinear finite element methods in solids, structures, and
fluids. The theoretical background needed for an
understanding and use of nonlinear software, the computer
implementation of various techniques, and modeling
strategies will be treated. Advantages and shortcomings of
alternative methods and the practical implications of recent
research developments will be stresses. Mathematical and
algorithmic developments will be explained in terms
comprehensible to engineers.
Who Attends
This Short Course is intended for engineers and
scientists who are interested in obtaining an understanding
of nonlinear finite element analysis, both as users of
software and developers of software. A background in
engineering or applied sciences and some previous exposure
to the finite element method are necessary for understanding
the material covered in this short course. The course has
been attended by engineers and scientists from corporations,
such as Dassault, Boeing, General Motors, Ford, Daimler
Benz, BMW, Fiat, PSA, Renault, Philips, Fujitsu, IBM, EDF,
Siemens; software companies; government laboratories, such
as Livermore, Argonne, Sandia; government offices, such as
NSF and the Defense Nuclear Agency; U.S. Navy, NASA, ESA,
Air Force Laboratories, and universities. Many attendees
have been graduate students, post-doctoral students and
young faculty.
