Course contents :
|
| This course has the puropose of presenting new numerical methods under development. Apart from the theoretical presentation of these methods, the goal pursued by these new developments, their state-of-the-art, and the future challenges are discussed. Among these methods, one can find
- Meshless methods
- Extended finite element methods (XFEM)
- Discontinuous Galerkin methods
- SPH
- Homogenization
- Etc
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The student will be able to understand and to code a new numerical method from literature content. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Advanced knowledge in
- Solid mechanics
- Fluid mechanics
- Finite-element method
|
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Study of a new numerical method, with as a basis, papers from the literature. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| After some introductive lectures about new and old numerical methods, literature papers will be distributed to the students for them to study a new numerical method. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Evaluation is based on a project, which consists in the presentation and the implementation of one of the recently developed numerical methods. Literature papers will be the basis of this project.Participation to the presentation is mandatory. |
