The Essentials of Finite Element Modeling and Adaptive Refinement : For Beginning Analysts to Advanced Researchers in Solid Mechanics.

Finite Element Analysis is a very popular, computer-based tool that uses a complex system of points called nodes to make a grid called a ""mesh. "" The mesh contains the material and structural properties that define how the structure will react to certain loading conditions, all...
