FEM-Advantages: • Continua can easily be approximated with different elementgeometries (e.g. triangles, rectangles, tetrahedrons, cuboids) • The strict formalisation of the method enables a simple implementation of new elements in an existing calculus • The convergence of the discretised model to the real systembehaviour can be influenced with well-known strategies,e.g. refinement of the mesh, higher degrees of elementformulations, automated mesh adaptivity depending on stress gradients or local errors University of the German Armed Forces Munich Faculty of Civil and Environmental EngineeringInstitute of Engineering Mechanics and Structural Mechanics / Laboratory of Engineering Informatics Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. N. Gebbeken
Aspects about FEM • Extensive fundamentals in mathematics (infinitesimal calculus, calculus of variations, numerical integration, error estimation, error propagation etc.) and mechanics (e.g. nonlinearities of material and the geometry) are needed. Unexperienced users tend to use FEM-programmes as a „black box“. • Teaching the FEM-theory is much more time consuming as other numerical methods, e.g. FDM At this point it is helpful to use the symbolic programming language MAPLE as an eLearning tool: the mathematical background is imparted without undue effort and effects of modified calculation steps or extensions of the FEM-theory can be studied easier!

l l F The Finite Element Method (FEM) is mostly used for the analysis of structures. Basic concept of FEM is a stiffness matrixR which implicates the vector U of node displacements with vector F of forces. Of interest are state variables like moments (M), shear (Q) and normal forces (N), from which stresses (, ) and resistance capacities (R) are derived. It is necessary to assess the strength of structures depending on stresses.

In the design process of structures we have to take into account not only static actions, but different types of dynamic influences.

Calculation of beam structures For the elaboration of the stiffness matrix for beams the following approach will be suggested: 1. Based on the differential equation for a beam the stiffness matrix is developed in a local coordinate system. 2. Consideration of the stiff or hinge connection in the nodes at the end of the beam. 3. Extension of element matrix formulations for beams with different characteristics, e.g. tension/ compression. 4. Transforming the expressions from the local coordinate system into the global coordinate system. 5. The element matrices are assembled in the global stiffness matrix.
