This is an advanced module in computational modelling focusing on computational solids. The finite element method is covered together with applications to medical, aerospace and mechanical engineering. Hands on experience in solving engineering problems using commercial packages is an important part of the module. There is an introduction of optimisation methods used in computational engineering across industry sectors. Topology shape and size optimisation methods and their applications will be covered. It is envisaged to provide guest lectures by SEMS' Visiting Professors. The student will have assignments with the industry-leading software ABAQUS for solving generic FEA problems as well as structural topology optimisation problems. Student will be encouraged to select problems relevant to their programme of study.
