The stress-displacement-pressure formulation of the elasticity problem may suffer from two types of numerical instabilities related to the finite element interpolation of the unknowns. The first is ...
Princeton's Dr. Jean H. Prévost and Serguei Bagrianski have released a book with World Scientific, entitled, An Introduction to Matrix Structural Analysis and Finite Element Methods. Based on a course ...
SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 45, No. 2 (2007), pp. 746-769 (24 pages) We derive a new formula for the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution of stiffness matrices obtained by applying P₁ ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
