SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 45, No. 2 (2007), pp. 746-769 (24 pages) We derive a new formula for the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution of stiffness matrices obtained by applying P₁ ...

The finite element method is a powerful numerical technique that is used in all major engineering industries - in this video we'll explore how it works. We'll look at why it's useful to split the body ...

A preconditioning method for the finite element stiffness matrix is given in this paper. The triangulation is refined in a subregion; the preconditioning process is composed of resolution of two ...

An overview of the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and its importance in aerospace component design. A look at how FEA software enables aerospace engineers to simulate the results of ...

Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...
