This white paper discusses the salient features regarding the mechanics and finite element analysis (FEA) of elastomers. Although the main focus of the paper is on elastomers (or rubber-like materials ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 112, Section 5: JOURNAL OF MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING (2003), pp. 73-81 (9 pages) On the base of the Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation models for structural foam in crash ...

A very basic example of this can be noted in certain oldest applications of finite elements. More than 2000 years earlier, geometers were keen on finding out the circumference and area of a circle.

Using novel theoretical and modeling tools such as finite element analysis can greatly accelerate widespread applications in many areas of nanotechnology. Polymer reinforcement using fillers is a ...

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 ...
