Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...
In 2001, IBM patented a method of using a double bump material structure to make a reliable joint between a chip and its package for bump pitch below 150 µm. 1 This invention improved the existing ...
Researchers have developed an innovative approach to predict the working status of high-formwork support systems (HFSS) by combining finite element model (FEM) simulations with deep learning and large ...
Finite element analysis (FEA) is established in modern design to predict component response to forces and environmental conditions. With material properties, geometry, mechanical and thermal loads as ...
Watch out — You can get different results depending on how you mesh the model. Second-order shell elements: Meshing the thin band with secondorder-shell elements produces precise curvilinear geometry.
In 2013, Boeing rolled out the first 787-9 Dreamliner, the newest member of the super-efficient 787 family. In order to power this massive aircraft, Rolls-Royce designed the state of the art Trent ...
