Finite Element Analysis [PDF]

open access: possible, 2004
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is one of the most effective methods for the numerical solution of field problems formulated in partial differential equations. The basic idea of the FEM is a discretization of the continuous structure into substructures. This is equivalent to replacing a domain having an infinite number of degrees of freedom by a system

Finite Element Analysis

2001
The finite element method is the most popular numerical method for solving elliptic boundary value problems. In this chapter, we introduce the concept of the finite element method, the finite element interpolation theory and its application in error estimates of finite element solutions of elliptic boundary value problems.

Finite element analysis

Computer-Aided Design, 1984
Abstract Current use of the finite element method in engineering practice is considered. The increasing use of finite element analysis in a CAD environment and factors influencing it are discussed. The technological state of the art is briefly reviewed.

Finite Element Analysis

2016
In this chapter, essentials of finite element analysis on musculoskeletal biomechanics are studied. For this reason, some fundamental types of finite elements, methodology, and difficulties of finite element analysis are considered. Also, some information on well-known general purpose finite element codes preferred in biomechanics and biomaterials ...

Finite-element analysis

Computer-Aided Engineering Journal, 1985
The finite-element method is a powerful tool for computer analysis of the characteristics of complex structures and components. This paper presents the fundamental principles of finite-element analysis together with the reasons for its use, and makes a case for introducing finite-element analysis techniques more often and earlier in the design of ...

What Is Finite Element Analysis?

Clinical Spine Surgery: A Spine Publication, 2020
Finite element analysis is a computational technique to predict how different materials will react when a range of forces are applied. In the field of orthopedics, this technique has predominantly been used for implant design and testing. As the technology improves, increasing clinical applications are being developed, offering promise in the areas of ...

Statistical finite element analysis

2008 30th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2008
A novel technique is introduced for tissue deformation and stress analysis. Compared to the conventional Finite Element method, this technique is orders of magnitude faster and yet still very accurate. The proposed technique uses preprocessed data obtained from FE analyses of a number of similar objects in a Statistical Shape Model framework as ...

Probabilistic finite element analysis of a craniofacial finite element model

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2012
We employed a probabilistic finite element analysis (FEA) method to determine how variability in material property values affects stress and strain values in a finite model of a Macaca fascicularis cranium. The material behavior of cortical bone varied in three ways: isotropic homogeneous, isotropic non-homogeneous, and orthotropic non-homogeneous. The

Finite Element Analysis

2009
The finite element method has undergone a major paradigm shift from a detailed mathematical background for writing tailor-made computer programs to a user-based approach for applying available software to engineering analysis and design scenarios.

Finite Element Analysis

1999
Finite element analysis for heat transfer involves laying out the physical 3D structure of a package, assigning thermal properties to the different pieces (die, package body, leadframe, etc.), and then “meshing” the physical structure into small elements.
