Who should attend
This course is intended for people who wish to analyze solid mechanics problems using COMSOL Multiphysics. It is expected that attendees will have an existing knowledge of the structure of COMSOL Multiphysics and will possess a relevant engineering, physics, mathematics or science background. Previous knowledge of structural mechanics is not necessary. Attendees that have developed solutions in COMSOL Multiphysics for other physics and are looking to expand their capabilities to solid mechanics are encouraged to attend.
Course Content
Days 1 & 2, 12:30pm – 5:00pm
Attendees will be led through use of COMSOL Multiphysics to perform range of solid mechanics analyses. Best practices for two- and three- dimensional problems will be demonstrated using practical examples. The following items will be covered:
- Theoretical basis for solid mechanics
- Geometric linearity vs. nonlinearity
- Plane stress/strain vs. three-dimensional modeling
- Selection of relevant boundary conditions
- Solution of static, linear elastic problems
Days 3 & 4, 12:30pm – 5:00pm
Days 3 and 4 will examine complex conditions including nonlinearity, thermal loading. dynamic effects, material creep and structural vibration. Finally, recommended best practices for solid mechanics analyses will be addressed with respect to workflow, solver recommendations and discretization.
- Thermal stress
- Temperature dependent material properties
- Loading rate dependent material properties
- Non-linear elasticity
- Plasticity
- Penalty method contact
- Augmented Lagrangian contact
- Wave propagation in frequency and time domain
