In this third and final installment of guidelines for getting an initial FEA program contributing to the design department, Ted Fryberger, president and instructor of DeepSoft Inc., Columbia, Md. (www ...

An engineer with limited FEA experience and no library of best practices to guide him tried to mesh a thin-walled bike frame with solid elements rather than using more appropriate beam elements. Most ...

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 ...

Rubber parts such as silicone diaphragms, septums, seals, valves, tubing, and balloons are critical components in many of today’s medical devices. FEA can be an excellent tool for design engineers to ...

Finite Element Analysis consists of a computer model of a material or design that is stressed and analyzed for specific results. It is used in new product design, and existing product refinement. A ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanical characteristics of implant–abutment interface design in a dental implant system, using nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) method.

A custom yacht buyer’s request for large, open interiors compromises structural stiffness in the vessel’s initial design, resulting in racking motion during vibration load simulations. The lucky ...

A Star Wars fan uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to prove a long-standing theory about everyone's favorite bounty hunter, Boba Fett. Boba Fett takes the iconic father from his father, Jango, after ...
