TIMEPERIOD: Q III-IV LANGUAGE:English/Swedish EXAMINER Hans O Åkerstedt Univ lekt PREREQUISITES MAM003 Mathematics, MTM038 Fluid mechanics COURSE AIM The aim is to get the student familiar with some approximate analytical and numerical methods in solving problems in mechanics and continuum mechanics.The course should also give the student some practice in using MATLAB for numerical computations and MAPLE for symbolic computation. CONTENTS Approximate solution of differential equations (25%) Lindstedt-Poincarés method, Renormalisation, Multiple scales methods, Finite difference methods for the solution of differential equations (10%). Galerkin methods (20%) Weighted residuals, conventional Galerkin methods, FEM-methods, Spectral methods. TEACHING The education consists of lectures in which the basic mathematical concepts are introduced. To each topic the student is supposed to do some compulsory problems. EXAMINATION Compulsory problems, project work and for higher marks a written examination at the end of the course. COURSE GRADE SCALE: U, 3, 4, 5 ITEMS/CREDITS | |
