The finite-element method was used to calculate the axial stress in an elastic fibre embedded in an elastic matrix to model a fibre-composite material. Axisymmetric models were created for cylindrical ...

Finite element modelling is widely used in industry to solve an endless number of practical problems, often involving non-linearity and dynamic loading. This module will teach how to robustly develop ...

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 ...

AxisVM is a high-quality software package for civil engineers. It is a useful tool for engineers in numerous countries. Users can build the 3D model with the aid of integrated visual modeling and ...

What Are FEM, FDM and FVM? FEM, FDM and FVM differ from one another in important ways. Understanding these distinctions is key to selecting the method most appropriate for your purposes. The ...

DNV has released three time-domain methods for assessing the structural performance of floating offshore wind turbines.

This white paper discusses the salient features regarding the mechanics and finite element analysis (FEA) of elastomers. Although the main focus of the paper is on elastomers (or rubber-like materials ...
