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 ...

Background Globally, 1% of the population is affected by arthritis of the foot and ankle. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis, resulting from ankle injury or chronic ankle instability, accounts for more ...

A finite element model for progressive in-plane damage and interfacial delamination was presented for cross-ply composite laminates. The commercial finite element software ABAQUS/STANDARD was used for ...

Increasing use of engineering thermoplastics in the applications such as load bearing automotive components necessitates accurate characterization and material modeling for predicting part performance ...
