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 ...

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 ...

They can complicate analysis because even small assemblies can have bolts, screws, rivets, and weld joints, some with preloads. Still, there are ways to consider fastener reactions, says David Dearth, ...

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.
