When it comes to FEA, material response under different loading conditions is calculated using mathematical models. These tools help us predict how an object will respond to a specific load, and this knowledge is crucial for designing safe and efficient structures and products. One such mathematical model is the Johnson-Cook material model. Developed by W….
Introduction Partial differential equations (PDEs) are most commonly employed for solving complex problems in engineering. However, solving PDEs analytically is hard and obtaining exact solution is almost impossible. Therefore, when solving PDEs, we use discrete numerical methods which provide an approximation to the real solution. Finite Element Method (FEM) is one method used to approximate…
As computing technologies are maturing, Finite element Analysis (FEA) has become a major computer-based analytical tool for structural analysis. Now it is feasible to analyze a simple beam to large scale complex structures, linear and non-linear regimes, fluids and solids, and variety of materials such as foams, composites and metals using FEA. In fact, it…
Finite element analysis (FEA) today is widely used for virtual prototyping, bringing about significant savings in terms of cost, time and resources. These savings are realized due to reduced number of physical prototypes and testing that is required to determine the possible outcomes. As a result, FEA is now widely used in many industries and below are a…
Finite Element Analysis (FEA), a popular tool in the engineering world, is a numerical method employed for solving complex engineering problems. It excels in tackling engineering riddles that cannot be unraveled easily by standard analytical methods. At times FEA can feel like magic, solutions created by some sorcery, if you may. These codes are complex,…
Introduction One area in engineering analysis that lacks procedures, workflows, methods, and checklists is finite element analysis (FEA). Unlike a test campaign where everything is very well documented, FEA models are usually based on the experience and choices of the analyst. This presents a contradictory situation because FEA models are often created to represent a…
