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 ...

A class of finite element methods is proposed for first order hyperbolic equations. The expository example chosen is of a single equation in one space dimension with constant coefficients.

The Vector Form Intrinsic Finite Element (VFIFE) method represents an advanced computational approach that redefines conventional finite element analysis through an intrinsic, vector‐based ...

For example, the force used in that analysis was too low and at a point where the part was at relatively low stress instead of at the maximum stress. In general, the finite element method deals ...
