Credit points: 5.00
Contact: 24 hours of lectures and practice classes
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course students will have: developed an appreciation of a variety of numerical modelling techniques and algorithms that are incorporated in modern computer modelling packages used to analyse a broad range of civil engineering problems; gained further experience in the conduct of computer programming in one or more of these techniques and algorithms using a suitable programming language (Fortran, Basic or Pascal); gained some experience in the use of special purpose teaching and commercially available analysis packages.
Content:
Linear algebraic equations (analysis of structures); ordinary differential equations; partial differential equations (elasticity, flow through porous media); elements of numerical analysis; relevance of computer hardware and software to design and design office practice.
Assessment:
Assignments and a two-hour examination.
