Urban redevelopment in densely populated areas often requires demolition and replacement of aging buildings. As buildings are ...

The inverse finite element method (iFEM) is a computational approach that reconstructs the full‐field displacement and strain state of a structure from measured surface strains. By minimising a ...

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 ...

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 ...
