Basic Structural Nonlinearities
Duration: 2 Days
Cost: $1000

Recommended for engineers who analyze structural nonlinear phenomena such as large deflection, plasticity or contact, this two-day course will aid in modeling geometric, material and contact nonlinearities, and in obtaining converged solutions with accurate results.

After completion, mechanical analysts should have a basic understanding of how to analyze structures with geometric nonlinearities, implement large strain theory in a nonlinear analysis and analyze structures with plasticity and contact nonlinearities.
 

Course Topics Include:

• Nonlinearities Overview 
  
• Obtaining the Solution
  
• Postprocessing
  
• Basic Geometric Nonlinearities
• Basic Plasticity
• Introduction to Contact
