Partial differential equations (PDEs) are often utilized to express space- and time-dependent problems in physics, however, when applied in geometry and for the solving of other related problems, ...

Finite element analysis has enabled engineers to virtually predict material and product performance, eliminating non-functional possibilities and establishing the best material and design without the ...

Flange joint sealing performance plays a critical role in the safety and efficiency of systems ranging from nuclear reactor pressure vessels to chemical processing plants. The efficacy of these joints ...

Departments to which FEA is more recent may not have yet established a set of best practices. To jump-start that effort, Bob Williams, product manager at Algor Inc., Pittsburgh, makes these ...

The term "multiphysics" applied to FEA software refers to the simultaneous combination of multiple physical models from different domains — such as fluid, structure, and chemical — to accurately ...

Composite structures, comprising two or more distinct materials, are increasingly pivotal in modern engineering due to their superior strength‐to‐weight ratios and enhanced durability compared with ...
