Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...

They can complicate analysis because even small assemblies can have bolts, screws, rivets, and weld joints, some with preloads. Still, there are ways to consider fastener reactions, says David Dearth, ...

Using novel theoretical and modeling tools such as finite element analysis can greatly accelerate widespread applications in many areas of nanotechnology. Polymer reinforcement using fillers is a ...

In this interview, Thermo Fisher discusses the technical innovations of the ARL QUANT’X EDXRF benchtop spectrometer and showcases how it is expanding the limits of light element analysis. What are the ...
