Computational Simulations and the Finite Element Method

Recently, the computational simulations have become an extremely useful tool for solving various problems in engineering. Therefore, this course will focus on numerical methods with particular focus on the finite element method and solid body analysis. According to that the basic theoretical fundamentals will be covered. Based on practical examples different types of finite elements, importance of shape functions, boundary and initial conditions, material models and general methodology of computational analysis will be explained for the case of linear-elastic and elastic-plastic analysis of solid bodies. The lecture will conclude with computational modelling of an applicable example. Additionally, during the lecture the use of different up-to-date finite element software will be demonstrated.

Chemical Reactor Design

In this course, a general principle will be developed for analysis and design of a variety of systems for which engineering of chemical reactions is needed. First, I will introduce the basic concepts of chemical kinetics and chemical reactor design as related to simple reaction systems. Next, we will build upon the concepts developed to describe real systems that deal with complex reactions. Topics covered will include:

(1) General mole balance,
(2) Reactor types,
(3) Conversion and reactor sizing,
(4) Rate laws,
(5) Stoichiometry,
(6) Algorithm of isothermal reactor design with conversion,
(7) Collection & analysis of rate data,
(8) Parallel reactions,
(9) Series reactions,
(10) Non-elementary rate law with active intermediates, and
(11) Industrial reactor design.

Aeroelasticity

The dream of travelling around the world back in one day is one the last great challenges in aeronautics. There are still many challenges that need to be addressed from understanding the aerodynamics, structural response and create viable materials. The HexaFly-Int is a project led by the European Space Agency and aims to further the understanding of the hypersonic environment by conducting scale model test of a powered and non-powered vehicle. I will present some of the work being done at the University of Sydney in support of the HexaFly-Int project on the low speed aerodynamic aspect of hypersonic vehicles and how the structure can be tailored to survive the harsh environment of hypersonic flight
