This paper is concerned with the finite element method for nonlinear Hamiltonian systems from three aspects: conservation of energy, symplicity, and the global error ...

Increasing use of engineering thermoplastics in the applications such as load bearing automotive components necessitates accurate characterization and material modeling for predicting part performance ...

Utilize advanced techniques to evaluate structures. Advanced analysis is necessary for structures that are complex, exhibit finite deformations, are loaded beyond their first yield point, or ...

Ship structures must reliably endure extreme maritime conditions over extended service lives. In this context, ultimate strength—the maximum load a ship structure can sustain before failure—is of ...

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 ...
