ABSTRACT The helical spring is one of fundamental mechanical elements used in various industrial applications such as valves, suspension mechanisms, shock and vibration absorbers, hand levers, etc. In ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 28, No. 4 (Aug., 1991), pp. 1004-1014 (11 pages) In this work a finite element method is introduced for the Mindlin-Reissner model that describes the ...

What is Finite Element Analysis? The finite element analysis is an extensively used method for computationally solving partial differential equations in technology and mathematics. The classic domains ...

Background Globally, 1% of the population is affected by arthritis of the foot and ankle. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis, resulting from ankle injury or chronic ankle instability, accounts for more ...

Under the Engineering Roadmap, Biocore and FRI—with funding support provided by the NFL—collaborated with partners at the University of Virginia, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, KTH Royal ...

Solid modeling is great for visualizing ideas but it's often misapplied in finite-element analysis. One of the latest methods of slashing development time is to use the 3D models that CAD users create ...
