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 ...

Recent advances in composite plate material characterisation have significantly enhanced our ability to assess and predict the performance of engineered materials under complex loading scenarios. By ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 56, No. 2 (2018), pp. 635-659 (25 pages) The thin plate spline smoother is a classical model for finding a smooth function from the knowledge of its ...

Every physical process takes place within some kind of time scale. Every process that happens in the real world is rate limited by something. Nothing in the real world actually occurs in zero time.

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 ...

If you would like to make a 3D print stronger, just add more material. Increase the density of the infill, or add more perimeters. The problem you’ll encounter though is that you don’t need to add ...

An introduction to finite element methods using popular commercial packages. The features common to different programs as well as special features of particular programs are presented. Primary focus ...

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 ...

In advanced engineering circles, the finite element method — or, more commonly, finite element analysis — is a real staple. With the advent of more powerful home computers, though, even your home ...

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 ...
