As sustainability becomes a critical focus across industries, structural engineering is undergoing significant ...

We'll look at why it's useful to split the body being analysed into small elements and the different elements types that can be used. We'll also cover the key concept behind the finite element method, ...

Researchers at the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf have developed flexible ...

Plant litter-derived mineral-associated organic matter that formed in the first year and pyrogenic organic inputs both persist on a decadal scale in grassland soil via distinct mechanisms ...

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 ...

Silicon (Si) is a metalloid, element number 14 on the periodic table. Like carbon, silicon has four bonding sites, but silicon is more than twice as heavy as carbon. The high melting point of ...

Abstract: In finite element adaptive techniques, the mesh quality generated by mesh refinement methods is of paramount importance. Based on normalized edge basis functions, we design new basis ...

A research team has developed a method for extracting gold from electronics waste, then using the recovered precious metal as a catalyst for converting carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas ...
