Solid modeling is great for visualizing ideas but it's often misapplied in finite-element analysis. One of the latest methods of slashing development time is to use the 3D models that CAD users create ...
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 ...
Laminated fiber-reinforced composite materials are being used in more and more engineering applications. These materials have excellent strength-to-weight ratios and the manufacturing processes that ...
