Once reserved for the aerospace and automotive industries, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has become ubiquitous in general industrial applications because of its effectiveness in digitally modeling ...

There is a trend in FEA to simplify a model's construction with wizards, and to simulate its entire working environment regardless of complexity. There is a trend in FEA to simplify a model's ...

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.

Finite element analysis has enabled engineers to virtually predict material and product performance, eliminating non-functional possibilities and establishing the best material and design without the ...

DuPont fibers have been used for more than 25 years as the main component in bulletproof vests. To further understand the factors that govern the performance of bulletproof vests, we recently ...

Danfoss Power Solutions (Ames, Iowa, U.S.) wanted to reduce cost and lead time challenges with a machined aluminum bracket by redesigning it to use carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) made with its ...
