Habituating FEA

Weak formulations (a.k.a.  variational formulations ) of partial differential equations (PDEs)  are hugely important in the  FEM  as they en...

This post aims to address the question that arises when one cannot distinguish between boundary conditions (BCs) and displacement BCs in the...

Figure 1 is a flowchart illustrating the FEM process for a linear static problem (the concept is similar to more complex problems): Figur...

In mathematics , partial differential equations (PDEs) can be solved either analytically (exact, continuous) or numerically (approximation,...

Continuum mechanics studies the mechanical behaviour of a material that has been mathematically idealised using partial differential equati...

After generating a continuum  (by mathematically representing a real material), the mechanical behaviour of such continuum can then be studi...
