SAE Transactions, Vol. 104, SECTION 6: JOURNAL OF PASSENGER CARS, Part 2 (1995), pp. 2068-2077 (10 pages) This paper presents a model updating method based on experimental receptances. The presented ...

Italian researchers used finite-element analysis to simulate kinematics and internal stresses following TKA and applied a three-dimensional approach using the Meniscal Bearing Knee prosthesis to ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 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 ...
