Matrix Method of Structural Analysis

By Prof. Amit Shaw, Prof. Biswanath Banerjee | IIT Kharagpur

Learners enrolled: 2140

This is a second level course on structural analysis. Herein the concept of matrix method of structural analysis with application in various structural components will be discussed. This course will serve as a bridge between structural analysis 1 (the first course on structural analysis) and more advance topic such as finite element method (FEM).

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering,Naval Architecture, Applied Mechanics
PREREQUISITES: Solid Mechanics, Structural Analysis 1
INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Any Civil, Mechanical and Aerospace company

Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 6 assignments out of the total 8 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Kharagpur .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
