ASEN 6107 Announcements HW # 3 on Chapters 5-6 TBP Jan 29, linked to Chapter 5 Index. Due Th Feb 7 HW#1 graded & returned today, solutions posted Slides for Ch 6 still incomplete.
Advantages of Using Work Functions 1. Automatic & error-free derivation of residual and rate forms 2. Easy transformation to different coordinate systems 3. FEM derivations strongly rely on variational & energy forms 4. Tangent stiffness matrix guaranteed to be symmetric 5. Loss of stability can be assessed by static method (singular K)
