Finite element analysis (FEA) is a cornerstone of modern computational mechanics, enabling the simulation of complex physical systems by subdividing a continuum into discrete finite elements. This ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: In this work, a novel finite element formulation for the numerical solution of three-dimensional magnetostatic problems is presented. The formulation is derived from the classical vector ...
