Princeton's Dr. Jean H. Prévost and Serguei Bagrianski have released a book with World Scientific, entitled, An Introduction to Matrix Structural Analysis and Finite Element Methods. Based on a course ...

What Are FEM, FDM and FVM? FEM, FDM and FVM differ from one another in important ways. Understanding these distinctions is key to selecting the method most appropriate for your purposes. The ...

Particle reinforced composites are widely used in engineering to improve the performance of the matrix material by adding reinforcements to the matrix material. In particle reinforced composites, when ...

It is demonstrated that the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is of remarkable efficiency in simulating crack evolution by eliminating the need for remeshing and refinement. In this paper, it is ...
