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 ...

A new technical paper titled “Solving sparse finite element problems on neuromorphic hardware” was published by researchers at Sandia National Lab. “The finite element method (FEM) is one of the most ...

Finite element methods (FEM) have become a cornerstone in simulating the interaction between free fluid flow and flow through porous media. In the context of Stokes-Darcy flow problems, FEM provides a ...

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 ...

The stress-displacement-pressure formulation of the elasticity problem may suffer from two types of numerical instabilities related to the finite element interpolation of the unknowns. The first is ...

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 ...

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