Aims
The module is aimed at extending students’ knowledge of dynamics and applied finite element method to an advanced level. The module is intended to be practical in nature providing students with the skills to analyse and solve engineering dynamics problems by means of computational and analytical methods.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Set up and validate efficient and accurate FE models of a range of engineering components under dynamic loading
2.
Critically evaluate the output from linear dynamic FE analysis and the influence of different dynamic or geometric parameters upon the accuracy of the result
3.
Critically evaluate and analyse the FE dynamics outputs and appreciate different methods of presentation
4.
Appreciate the basic theory that underpins linear aspects of dynamics and its relevance on the solution method selection
