dear feadude,

I am looking for college (undergrad or grad) FE course notes.

dear TSG4 and GBor

http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html

did not work for me, as no course on FE there. There is a similar course but the course notes are taken by handwriting-namelly, hard to read & understand.


Plz let me know if more addresses hit you..

Thanks bro.s

lukeme,

Not sure what country you are in, but the notes, even handwritten, are pretty clearly written. They seem to address theory. Are you looking for a more practical application? If so, look to some of the resources available from the software manufacturers.

Here are some free resources from Algor, Inc.

Here is a link to get an evaluation copy of NENastran:

You can get an evaluation copy of SolidWorks which comes with COSMOSExpress...COSMOS Express is VERY DANGEROUS in my opinion, but it reduces the FEA process to about 5 basic steps.

lukeme,
Try typing in "introduction to FEA" or "stiffness matrix" etc in google you should come up with hundreds of websites of course notes.
