Finite element methods (FEM) have long been integral to the analysis and design of geotechnical systems, particularly when addressing issues of soil–structure interaction and extreme deformation ...
Development of finite elements from variational principles and application to static stress analysis. Introduction to techniques for transient and generalized field problems.
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 ...
