In addressing the finite element model and actual structural error of the sprayer boom truss, this study aims to achieve high-precision dynamic characteristics ...

Clear aligners have transformed orthodontic treatment; however, they exhibit limited effectiveness in closing extraction spaces due to cumulative movement errors and excessive tipping. This ...

Clutches intermittently engage machines drives with driven parts. They’re used extensively in industrial machinery as well as in passenger vehicles where they connect engines to gearboxes. For the ...

In advanced engineering circles, the finite element method — or, more commonly, finite element analysis — is a real staple. With the advent of more powerful home computers, though, even your home ...

Using novel theoretical and modeling tools such as finite element analysis can greatly accelerate widespread applications in many areas of nanotechnology. Polymer reinforcement using fillers is a ...

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 ...
