Design engineers routinely rely on bolted joints, yet most guidance focuses on axial stiffness—often overlooking moment ...

A finite element model for structural analysis of media with embedded inclusions is presented. The “embedded element concept” is adopted to model the contact interaction of two medium components along ...

We'll look at why it's useful to split the body being analysed into small elements and the different elements types that can be used. We'll also cover the key concept behind the finite element method, ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the optimal control problem of parabolic integro-differential equations is solved by gradient recovery based two-grid finite element method. Piecewise linear functions are ...

Meshfree methods have undergone substantial development and have received much attention in the last two decades. This new family of numerical methods is designed to inherit the main advantages of the ...

The program solves 2D steady-state and transient problems of structural analysis (linear-elasticity) and thermal analysis (conductive and convective heat transfer) with isoparametric and isogeometric ...
