Analysis of a few sample problems helps illustrate the basics of the nonlinear approach. • Most problems are nonlinear from the get-go. • Simplified load-deflection cases can help explain nonlinear ...

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 ...

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 42, No. 5 (Oct., 1982), pp. 1157-1173 (17 pages) A necessary and sufficient condition is established for the existence of a 1-1 transformation of a system of ...

Abstract: Taking a certain car engine mounting system rubber components as the research object, the nonlinear finite element software ABAQUS was used to analyze it. The basic theory of a hyper-elastic ...

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 ...
