Analysis of a few sample problems helps illustrate the basics of the nonlinear approach. • Most problems are nonlinear from the get-go. • Simplified load-deflection cases can help explain nonlinear ...

Sometimes, it’s easy for a computer to predict the future. Simple phenomena, such as how sap flows down a tree trunk, are straightforward and can be captured in a few lines of code using what ...

It is shown that the solutions of certain classes of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations may be represented in terms of the maximum operation applied to the solutions of associated ...

Beryllium copper compression contacts, used in new connectors, have to deflect at three times their thickness under a very small amount of normal force while avoiding a permanent set. In the past, ...

Adaptive remeshing for Abaqus Standard lets the software remesh and rerun a simulation to reduce meshdependent displacement, stress, or strain errors. Substructuring is an add-on that calculates ...
