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 ...

The Vector Form Intrinsic Finite Element (VFIFE) method represents an advanced computational approach that redefines conventional finite element analysis through an intrinsic, vector‐based formulation ...

Matrix algebra and the Rayleigh-Ritz technique are applied to the development of the finite element method. The minimum potential energy theorem, calculus of variations, Galerkin's and the ...

Using novel theoretical and modeling tools such as finite element analysis can greatly accelerate widespread applications in many areas of nanotechnology. Polymer reinforcement using fillers is a ...
