One of the common classes of equations that is encountered in several branches of science is partial differential equations. So in this article, I look at a software package called FreeFem++ that is ...

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a cornerstone of modern computational mechanics, enabling the simulation of complex physical systems by subdividing a continuum into discrete finite elements. This ...

Finite element methods (FEM) have emerged as a pivotal class of numerical techniques for solving the Navier–Stokes equations, the mathematical foundation for modelling fluid flow. These methods ...

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 ...

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 ...

• Trellebor engineers compared test data and FEA for many common plastics and elastomers. • Results show FEA is a good way to predict seal behavior. Finite-element analysis (FEA) has come of age for ...

There is no doubt that finite-element analysis is getting a bigger role in development projects. One reason is that it helps slash expensive prototype testing. The technology is also seen as another ...

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 ...

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was developed in the Aircraft Industry in the late 1950's as a way of handling the more complex structures that were evolving. Finite Element analysis has been used in ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a branch of physics that utilizes numerical methods and algorithms to analyze and predict the behavior of fluids and gases under various conditions. This field ...
