- Workshop
- Workshop 6, Workshop 7, Workshop 8
Wednesday, 08:45-12:45, Flux Hall D
At the end of this week you will be able to:
Define and analyze numerical methods to solve systems governed by Partial Differential Equations. This entails:
1. Define the system of PDEs that characterize the behaviour of structures composed by rods and beams
2. Define numerical methods to solve a system of PDEs
3. Implement a solver for a system of PDEs
4. Analyse and justify the results
Week 3. Computational methods for time-dependent Partial Differential Equations [pdf]:
1. Introduction to Finite Differences for time-dependent PDEs
2. Introduction to Finite Elements for time-dependent PDEs (6.4 and 6.5)
3. Theory: Beam equation 4.1
4. Theory: Space frames 4.3
