The Vector Form Intrinsic Finite Element (VFIFE) method represents an advanced computational approach that redefines conventional finite element analysis through an intrinsic, vector‐based formulation ...

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 ...

Fracture mechanics and finite element analysis represent two interrelated domains that fundamentally advance our understanding of material failure. The discipline of fracture mechanics addresses the ...

A very basic example of this can be noted in certain oldest applications of finite elements. More than 2000 years earlier, geometers were keen on finding out the circumference and area of a circle.

In this paper, the authors consider application of the AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) technique to improve the performance of the PARFES parallel finite element solver, intended for finite element ...

Researchers from our MultiSim project have published a paper in the journal Frontiers Bioengineering and Biotechnology, on ‘Development of subject specific finite element models of the mouse knee ...

What Are FEM, FDM and FVM? FEM, FDM and FVM differ from one another in important ways. Understanding these distinctions is key to selecting the method most appropriate for your purposes. The ...

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 ...
