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 ...

In 2013, Boeing rolled out the first 787-9 Dreamliner, the newest member of the super-efficient 787 family. In order to power this massive aircraft, Rolls-Royce designed the state of the art Trent ...

Using novel theoretical and modeling tools such as finite element analysis can greatly accelerate widespread applications in many areas of nanotechnology. Polymer reinforcement using fillers is a ...

Parametric features are becoming more common in FEA packages. The key benefit of parametric features is that they let users see the effects of design changes quickly. With adequate planning, users can ...

Researchers have developed an innovative approach to predict the working status of high-formwork support systems (HFSS) by combining finite element model (FEM) simulations with deep learning and large ...

Development of Deformity Specific Finite Element Models for Surgical Simulation of Anterior Vertebral Body Tether for Treating Scoliosis in Pediatric Subjects Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is ...

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.
