This repository contains the simulation models, screenshots, and results for an engineering assessment involving the finite element analysis (FEA) of a rectangular plate with center cut-outs. The ...

Real Engineering Challenge: When you drill holes in aircraft wings, pressure vessels, or mechanical components, stress concentrates around these holes at levels 2-3 times higher than the applied load.

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 28, No. 4 (Aug., 1991), pp. 1004-1014 (11 pages) In this work a finite element method is introduced for the Mindlin-Reissner model that describes the ...

Some reliable and efficient a posteriori error estimators are produced for a mixed finite element method (the Hellan—Herrmann—Johnson (H-H-J) method) for ...

Abstract: Finite element analysis is a powerful approach to the vibration analysis of complicated structures including the piezoelectric acoustic wave resonators such as the quartz crystal resonators, ...

Abstract: The power devices of power electronic converters generate a lot of heat during operation, and effective heat dissipation and cooling are crucial for their reliable operation. As a typical ...
