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 ...

Finite element methods (FEM) have become indispensable tools for simulating wave propagation phenomena across a range of applications, from acoustics and electromagnetics to earthquake modelling. At ...

Fracture mechanics and finite element analysis represent two interrelated domains that fundamentally advance our understanding of material failure. The discipline of fracture mechanics addresses the ...

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 ...

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 ...

When it comes to FDM 3D prints and making them stronger, most of the focus is on the outer walls and factors like their layer adhesion. However, paying some attention to the often-ignored insides of a ...

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.
