An overview of the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and its importance in aerospace component design. A look at how FEA software enables aerospace engineers to simulate the results of ...

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.

Under the Engineering Roadmap, Biocore and FRI—with funding support provided by the NFL—collaborated with partners at the University of Virginia, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, KTH Royal ...

The last few years have shown progress in finite-element analysis intended for use by design engineers. Many programs that work with CAD provide several different types of analysis, and the range of ...
