Recent advances in composite plate material characterisation have significantly enhanced our ability to assess and predict the performance of engineered materials under complex loading scenarios. By ...

When it comes to FDM 3D prints and making them stronger, most of the focus is on the outer walls and factors like their layer adhesion. However, paying some attention to the often-ignored insides of a ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...

The book “Uncertain Analysis in Finite Elements Models” explains uncertainty analysis for finite elements and general nonlinear problems. It starts with the fundamentals of the topic and progresses to ...

In advanced engineering circles, the finite element method — or, more commonly, finite element analysis — is a real staple. With the advent of more powerful home computers, though, even your home ...

An overview of the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and its importance in aerospace component design. A look at how FEA software enables aerospace engineers to simulate the results of ...

A very basic example of this can be noted in certain oldest applications of finite elements. More than 2000 years earlier, geometers were keen on finding out the circumference and area of a circle.
