This lesson focuses on the finite element modeling of mechanical problems of solid or structures in a non-linear context.
There is a deepening of teaching on the finite element method under the elastic-static or linear elastic-dynamic and consists mainly of practical work on computer code. Beforehand, during some concepts are presented, they concern general information on the methods of calculating incremental necessary for the resolution of non-linear mechanical problems.
Stability problems are also presented.
Much space is left to use the software.
