Engineering Problems
- What is an Engineering Problem????? Any ideas!!!!!

“ Can be stated as ‘ Mathematical model of a physical situation’ ”.

-Many engineering problems, like you might have seen previous engineering
subjects’, can be represented by a mathematical model in terms of
differential equations with a sets of initial or boundary conditions.

- Differential equations are normally obtained by fundamental laws or

principles of natures for a system.
- These equations represent a balance of mass or energy or force.

- When possible, Exact
solution of the problem can
be determined. This
solution can provide a
detailed behavior of system
under given conditions.

Engineering Problems
- These analytical solutions are composed of two parts: Homogenous and Particular

- Also, In engineering problems, there are two sets of design parameters (which dictates
system behavior): Info of natural behavior and Info of disturbances in the system

- Info of natural behavior appears always in the Homogenous part of the
differential equation

- While, Info of disturbances in the system appears in the Particular part.

- It is important to know these info and their respective positions while performing FE
modeling.

Numerical Methods
- For many engineering problems, Exact solution can’t be obtained.

-Reasons:
- Complex nature of the differential equations
- Difficult to get an idea about the boundary and initial conditions
- Numerical methods are helpful under such circumstances.

-Difference between analytical and numerical technique:

-Analytical: can determine the behavior at any pt within the system.
- Numerical: can determine the approximate behavior at discrete pts called as
‘NODE’.

Finite Element Analysis (ME-458) Lecture -1/6

Mechanical Engineering Department
 Introduction to FEA

Numerical Methods
- Discretization: The very first step in any numerical procedure is to divide the
system in many sub regions (elements) and nodes of interest.

- Numerical methods: Finite differences and Finite Element.

-Difference between FD and FE:

- FD: Differential equations are written for each node and derivatives are
replaced by difference equations. End up with a set of simultaneous linear
equations. Easy to apply on simple geometries but not for complex ones.

- FE: Uses integral formulations. A continuous functions is assumed to represent

the approximate solution of each element. Complete solution can be
generated by assembling or connecting the individual solutions.

 Brief History of FEA

- Origin of modern FEA can be traced back to early 1900s.

- Apply on variety of engineering problems including stress analysis, heat

transfer, fluid flow, electro magnetism etc.
- Courant has been credited as the first person who developed FEM.

- He used piecewise polynomial interpolation over triangular sub regions

to investigate torsion problems.
- In 1950s, Boeing used triangular stress elements to model airplane
wings.
- Later in 1960’s, Investigators began to apply the finite element method to the areas of
engineering , such as heat transfer and seepage flow problems.
- In 1971, ANSYS© was released for the first time.
- Another very powerful FEA software ABAQUS© was released in 1978.

2- Assume a solution that approximates the behavior of an element
As we know the bar is fixed at the top, the displacement of node 1 is zero. Hence there
are only four unknow nodal displacement values, u₂, u₃, u₄ and u₅. the reaction force at
node 1 R₁ is also unknown – all together there are five unknowns. Because there are five
equilibrium equations we should be able to solve for all unknowns. However it is
important to note that even though the number of unknowns match the number of
equations, the system of equations contains two different types of unknowns-
displacement and reaction force. In order to eliminate the need of unknown reaction
force simultaneously and focus first on unknown displacements we make use of known
boundary condition u₁ = 0. The application of boundary condition u₁ = 0 eliminates the
need to consider the unknown reaction force in our system of equations and creates a
set of equations with displacement being only unknowns.

- Minimum Total Potential
Energy Formulation
The minimum total potential energy is a common approach in generating finite
element models in solid mechanics. External loads applied to the body will cause
the body to deform. During the deformation, the work done by the external forces
is stored in the material in the form of the elastic energy, called strain energy. Let
us consider the strain energy in solid member when it is subjected to a central
force as shown in the Figure.

Earlier it was shown that elastic behavior of the member may be modeled as linear
spring. In the figure note that is a variable measuring deformation of the
member and it values ranges from 0 to . When the member is stretched by

We can write Eq. 1.39 for a piece if material from the member in the form of
differential volume in the form of normal stress and strain

Therefore for a member or an element under axial loading the strain energy is
obtained by adding up the stored energy in all pieces (differential volume) making
up the member.
