1Finite element updating — Finite element model updating is a process of making sure that finite element analysis results in models that better reflect the measured data than the initial models. It is part of Verification Validation (V V) of numerical models.This process… …
2Finite element method in structural mechanics — Finite element method (FEM) is a powerful technique originally developed for numerical solution of complex problems in structural mechanics, and it remains the method of choice for complex systems. In the FEM, the structural system is modeled by… …
3Finite element machine — The Finite Element Machine (FEM)[1] was a late 1970s early 1980s NASA[2] project to build and evaluate the performance of a parallel computer for structural analysis. The FEM was completed and successfully tested at the NASA Langley Research… …
4Lumped element model — In general, the lumped component model is a way of simplifying the behaviour of spatially distributed systems into a topology consisting of discrete entities that approximate the behaviour of the distributed system under certain assumptions. It… …
5finite element — noun Any of a finite number of discrete elements of a system, interconnected at discrete nodes, used to model a physical system …
6finite element analysis — a tool that uses a 3 D model to visualize the effects of stress levels on components from loading and deformation. Once designs that have gone through FEA on line become prototypes, they are much less likely to have design flaws that would hinder …
7Extended finite element method — The extended finite element method (XFEM), also known as generalized finite element method (GFEM) or partition of unity method (PUM) is a numerical technique that extends the classical finite element method (FEM) approach by extending the… …
8Engineering treatment of the finite element method — This is a draft of a new explanation as suggested on . The finite element method (FEM) is a technique for finding approximate solutions to differential equations that is particularly useful in engineering. As of 2005, FEM is the primary analysis… …
9Impact Finite Element Program — Impact is an open source finite element program suite which can be used to predict most dynamic events such as car crashes or metal sheet punch operations. They usually involve large deformations and high velocities. It is written in… …
10Model theory — This article is about the mathematical discipline. For the informal notion in other parts of mathematics and science, see Mathematical model. In mathematics, model theory is the study of (classes of) mathematical structures (e.g. groups, fields,… …
