The finite element method (FEM) is a numerical method for solving problems of engineering and mathematical physics. Typical problem areas of interest include structural analysis, heat transfer, fluid ...

In this paper, we use a finite element-based mesoscale fracture model that accounts for the grain structure and the differences in the critical fracture energy of the grain boundaries vis-à-vis that ...

Finite Element Analysis is an engineering ... these include ANSYS (known for thermal, structural and fluid simulations); Nastran (structural analysis); and Abaqus (solving nonlinear problems).

Nanoarchitected materials represent a transformative leap in material science, combining strength, lightweight properties, ...

Nano-architected materials are made of tiny building blocks or repeating units measuring a few hundred nanometres in size — ...

Researchers from the University of Toronto have used 3D printing to create nano-architected materials that are both strong ...

Researchers have used machine learning to design nano-architected materials that have the strength of carbon steel but the lightness of Styrofoam. The team describes how they made nanomaterials with ...
