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 ...

A few guidelines show how to correctly use FEA stresses to find reasonable margins of safety. Although finite-element analysis has become an indispensable part of engineering, a few users knock it ...

Sometimes, it’s easy for a computer to predict the future. Simple phenomena, such as how sap flows down a tree trunk, are straightforward and can be captured in a few lines of code using what ...

FEA classes spend a little time on theory and hours on commands and features. That's OK, but users work more confidently when they have a firm grip on the science behind the software. Hence, this ...
