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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In advanced engineering circles, the finite element method — or, more commonly, finite element analysis — is a real staple. With the advent of more powerful home computers, though, even your home ...

Amateur radio operators have played a longstanding game of “Will It Antenna?” If there’s something even marginally conductive and remotely resonant, a ham has probably tried to make an antenna out of ...
