What is Finite Element Analysis? The finite element analysis is an extensively used method for computationally solving partial differential equations in technology and mathematics. The classic domains ...

In advanced engineering circles, the finite element method — or, more commonly, finite element analysis — is a real staple. With the advent of more powerful home computers, though, even your home ...

A history of the development of the finite element method is presented. The practical application of the method was delayed many years until some key advances in computing technology, namely adequate ...

Princeton's Dr. Jean H. Prévost and Serguei Bagrianski have released a book with World Scientific, entitled, An Introduction to Matrix Structural Analysis and Finite Element Methods. Based on a course ...

In this paper, we discuss an adaptive hybrid stress finite element method on quadrilateral meshes for linear elasticity problems. To deal with hanging nodes arising in the adaptive mesh refinement, we ...
