dear feadude,

I am looking for college (undergrad or grad) FE course notes.

dear TSG4 and GBor
http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html did not work for me, as no course on FE there. There is a similar course but the course notes are taken by handwriting-namelly, hard to read & understand.


Plz let me know if more addresses hit you..

Thanks bro.s

RE: FEA course notes

lukeme,

Not sure what country you are in, but the notes, even handwritten, are pretty clearly written.  They seem to address theory.  Are you looking for a more practical application?  If so, look to some of the resources available from the software manufacturers.

Here are some free resources from Algor, Inc.

Here is a link to get an evaluation copy of NENastran:

You can get an evaluation copy of SolidWorks which comes with COSMOSExpress...COSMOS Express is VERY DANGEROUS in my opinion, but it reduces the FEA process to about 5 basic steps.



RE: FEA course notes

lukeme,
Try typing in "introduction to FEA"  or "stiffness matrix" etc in google you should come up with hundreds of websites of course notes.
