SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 47, No. 2 (2009), pp. 1421-1444 (24 pages) The performance of finite element computation depends strongly on the quality of the geometric mesh and the ...

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 ...

A method for determining the geometric stability characteristics of a disc brake assembly is presented. Since disc brake "squeal" noise typically occurs at unstable resonant frequencies of a system, ...

MIT researchers increase 3D printing strength with SustainaPrint - developing a system that strengthens only the weakest zones of 3D prints.

D printing has come a long way since its invention in 1983 by Chuck Hull, who pioneered stereolithography, a technique that solidifies liquid resin into solid objects using ultraviolet lasers.
