Course Objectives
This course is an application oriented introductory course aiming to familiarize the students with the application of the Finite Element Method (FEM) in materials science and engineering by use of commercial FEA software.The topics and the applications are selected as complementaries of METE 303 (Mechanical Behavior of Materials), METE 305 (Transport Phenomena), METE 349 (Electrical, Magnetic and Optical Properties of Materials), METE 308 (Physical Foundations of Materials) and METE 350 (Multi-scale Modeling & Simulation of Materials) courses. Topics include mechanics of materials, heat transfer, phase transformations, electromagnetics as well as multi-physics analyses combining those.
Course Content
Phenomenological computational modeling and simulation techniques in materials science and engineering. Mathematical and physical basis of modeling, methodology: definition of the physical problem, defining input and outputs, construction of the model, computer implementation, validation and visualization. Application of the methodology for materials behavior and processing problems like creep, fatigue, phase transformations, sintering, electrochemical reactions, welding, plastic deformation, solidification, etc. Simulation methods of materials science related phenomena like diffraction, thermodynamics and kinetics of reactions, mass and heat transfer, etc.
