Finite element analysis (FEA) is an established technique within the virtual functional morphology toolkit in the fields of palaeontology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology.
Most basic FEA tools cover linear materials in static structural problems because they are computationally less expensive, and the error associated with these assumptions can be accepted.
Non-linearities can improve FEA models by widening the possible applications and topics in biomechanical models, especially when modelling soft tissues, establish contacts between separated bones or the inclusion of buckling.
This course will cover the theory and practice of non-linearities in FEA, using a combination of theoretical lectures and practical exercises.
