In the p-version of the finite element method, the triangulation is fixed and the degree p, of the piecewise polynomial approximation, is progressively increased until some desired level of precision ...

Course Description: This course provides a practical introduction to the Finite Element Method (FEM), with an emphasis on hands-on implementation using Python. It covers the basic theoretical concepts ...

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 ...

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 ...

Matrix algebra and the Rayleigh-Ritz technique are applied to the development of the finite element method. The minimum potential energy theorem, calculus of variations, Galerkin's and the ...

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 ...

Utilize advanced techniques to evaluate structures. Advanced analysis is necessary for structures that are complex, exhibit finite deformations, are loaded beyond their first yield point, or ...

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 ...
