Teaching Material for Deepen Understanding of Strength of Materials Using Finite Element Method

Since the finite element method software can display stress distribution and deformation, it is considered to be effective for education of the strength of materials. However, the solution of the strength of materials does not consider the effect of the fixed end, so the solution of the finite element method does not agree with the solution of the strength of materials. In this study, we devised a method to match the solution of the strength of materials by devising the boundary conditions of the finite element method. From the class evaluation questionnaire, it can be said that this teaching material is effective in learning the strength of materials.
