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 ...

Failure analysis is the scientific process of determining the root cause of a failure. It is often related to equipment breakdown with varying levels of consequence, from loss of production, to ...

Figure 1: View of Global Finite Element Tug Model. Figure 2: Refined Structure in Way of Load Box. Figure 3: Load Application. Figure 4: ABS Load Box Yielding Evaluation Plot. Figure 5: Color Coded ...

Many readers probably think “black magic” describes the math involved in finding the dynamic response of a structure from random excitation. When can you be sure you have jumped through all the ...

But what happens when the part operates over and over, day after day? To predict component failure in such cases requires what's called fatigue or durability analysis. Computer simulations determine ...
