Steak, shake or break – and other applications of FEM TMA4220
Outline • Present the governing equations (3 of them) • Building your FEM code • Mesh generation • Experimentation • Integration with other courses
Time dependent Poisson • “Steak”: Heat transfer • The way heat propagates through objects
Linear elasticity • “Break”: Stress analysis • How things bend and deform
Vibration analysis • “Shake”: Eigenmode analysis • Natural frequency of which things oscillate
Building your FEM code • Series of problems 1a) – 3b) • Gauss quadrature • FEM theory • Sample 2d problem • Sample 3d problem • Your choice and experimentation (Problem 4)
How to work • On problem 1-3: answer short and answer right • On problem 4: Elaborate as much as possible
Mesh generation • Lots of issues (probably the most understated part of FEM training) • 3 options • Pre-made by myself • GMSH (free, easy-to-use mesh tool, readable output) • I’ll get back to #3 later
Experimentation • Find your own problem • Choose an equation • Choose a geometry • Choose an objective • Analyze the results • Experiment with geometry, material properties and/or boundary conditions
Example 1: beef • How to cook the optimal beef • Choose an equation • Choose a geometry • Choose an objective • Optimality criterium? • Too short cooking – raw and unedible • Too long cooking – dry and tasteless • Too varying temperature – all of the above • Experimentation
Example 2: Structural analysis • Linear elasticity • Choose an equation • Choose a geometry • Choose an objective • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5fS4RF3ht0 • Max stress lower than material critical point • Will it withstand gravity? • Will it withstand external forces? (creepers?)
Example 3: free vibration • What are the natural frequencies of your geometry (and material)? • Choose an equation • Choose an objective • Find the natural frequencies • Resonance with enviromental frequencies (wind, noise etc) • Sound/music (harmonic overtones) • Purely visual • Choose a geometry
Integration with other courses • Numerical linear algebra (TMA4205) • Mathematical Modeling (TMA4195) • Experts in Team (TMA4850)
Practicalities • 2 persons to each group • Deadline: 18th Nov. • Written report and presentation • No min/max pages • Access to computer lab • I’m away next week, Anne away the next 2 weeks
Summary • Choose your own problem • Be creative • Play on your strengths • Geometry modeling • Visualization • Physical Experiments • CPU speed
