The course deals with validation models against ASME Section VIII Div. 1 and Div. 2 code and provides stress classification options to address different interpretations of the code. Analyzes load model perturbation and buckling for pressure vessel and heat exchanger components like heads, channel, shell and branch connections.

Review of linear algebra, including applications to networks, structures, and estimation. Also covers differential equations of equilibrium; Laplace’s equation and potential flow; initial value and boundary-value problems; minimum principles and calculus of variations; numerical methods; and optimization

This course covers fundamentals of algorithm development, high-level language, programming applications, and coding solutions to computing problems.
