Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student should be able to:
- describe the basic steps and concepts of matrix methods of structural analysis and the finite element analysis of structures;
- identify and understand all the various matrix operations involved in the process;
- use the method in the solution of two dimensional simple elastic structural engineering problems, carry out checks to assess the correctness of the output, and interpret results. |
