The course is devoted to the specific physics interfaces and tools of the Structural Mechanics Module, which is added to the main COMSOL Multiphysics installation.
The Structural Mechanics Module provides modeling tools and functionalities tailored to analyze the mechanical behavior of solid structures, with application areas including Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geomechanics, Biomechanics and MEMS Devices.
Students will work with advanced analyses of stresses, deformations, stiffness, flexibility, natural frequencies of vibration, response to dynamic loads and buckling instability.
The course also reviews multiphysics capabilities that extend structural mechanics models through couplings with heat transfer, electromagnetic fields, fluid flow and fluid-structure interaction.
