Functionally graded materials (FGMs) offer a sophisticated avenue for engineering materials with tailored variations in properties, thereby facilitating the reduction of stress concentrations around ...
A few guidelines show how to correctly use FEA stresses to find reasonable margins of safety. Although finite-element analysis has become an indispensable part of engineering, a few users knock it ...
FEA reveals shoulder fillets under unanticipated stress. "How linear FEA helps in fatigue analysis," Machine Design, Jan. 6, 2005, discusses how to get the right margin of safety out of FEA. Darrell ...
