Prof. Dr. Roger Sauer – Nonlinear Finite Element Methods
Department of Civil Engineering
Gdansk University of Technology, Poland
Abstract:
This course introduces nonlinearities and their treatment within the finite element method. First, various sources of nonlinearities in typical problems of science and engineering are presented and their consequences on numerical methods are explored. This is followed by a brief introduction of the finite element method. Finally, numerical techniques for dealing with nonlinearities within the finite element method are discussed. The particular focus of this course is placed on the equations of heat conduction, mass diffusion, as well as solid and fluid mechanics.
