Course Description: This course provides a practical introduction to the Finite Element Method (FEM), with an emphasis on hands-on implementation using Python. It covers the basic theoretical concepts ...

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a cornerstone of modern computational mechanics, enabling the simulation of complex physical systems by subdividing a continuum into discrete finite elements. This ...

The finite element method is a powerful numerical technique that is used in all major engineering industries - in this video we'll explore how it works. We'll look at why it's useful to split the body ...

Sand production remains a pervasive challenge in the oil and gas industry, particularly in reservoirs composed of unconsolidated or weakly consolidated sandstones. The phenomenon occurs when ...

Finite Element Methods for solving problems with material and geometric nonlinearities; transient dynamics analysis with explicit and implicit time integration, partitioned methods, and stability; ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
