• CVEN 6831:ÌýSpecial Topics – Advanced Computational Failure Analysis

  • ​(3 Credits / Fall 2015) Course Description:ÌýFor the last decades, several types of computational failure analysis methods have been developed. However, computational modeling of failure and reliable predictions are still highly problematic and one of the biggest challenges in computational mechanics. The primary motivation of this course is to introduce recently developed strong discontinuity-based computational failure analysis methods that can model arbitrary crack growths in 2D, 3D and shells independent from the initial mesh topologies. Also, a new multiscale analysis method for predicting failure will be introduced with particular emphasis on the situation where the coarse scale model loses its ellipticity, which is always the case with failure. (Prereq.: CVEN 5131, CVEN 5511 and CVEN 6511)
