Princeton's Dr. Jean H. Prévost and Serguei Bagrianski have released a book with World Scientific, entitled, An Introduction to Matrix Structural Analysis and Finite Element Methods. Based on a course ...

Finite element modelling is widely used in industry to solve an endless number of practical problems, often involving non-linearity and dynamic loading. This module will teach how to robustly develop ...

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 ...

Finite Element Methods for solving problems with material and geometric nonlinearities; transient dynamics analysis with explicit and implicit time integration, partitioned methods, and stability; ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...

One of the oldest uses of High Performance Computing systems is for Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Starting with early mainframes in the 1960’s FEA was a critical technology that was used to design ...

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 ...
