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 ...

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.

Finite element modelling is widely used in industry to solve an endless number of practical problems, often involving non-linearity and dynamic loading. This module will teach how to robustly develop ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...

In 2001, IBM patented a method of using a double bump material structure to make a reliable joint between a chip and its package for bump pitch below 150 µm. 1 This invention improved the existing ...

What Are FEM, FDM and FVM? FEM, FDM and FVM differ from one another in important ways. Understanding these distinctions is key to selecting the method most appropriate for your purposes. The ...

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, ...
