The finite element method. Linear static and dynamic finite element analysis Thomas J. R. Hughes
Publisher: Prentice Hall

Modeling » steady & transient » temperature varying thermal properties » mixed materials. The main methods are the power, subspace, LR, QR, Givens, Carry out both a linear static analysis and a linear (eigenvalue) buckling analysis. Finite Element (2) Dynamic Analysis Time Dependant. Modeling » only linear analysis » composites, sandwiches, laminates. Finite Element Analysis (3) Buckling As with a frequency analysis, eigenvalue extraction may be carried out using a number of available methods, the best choice depends on the form of the equations being solved. In the introductory graduate course I teach on the FEM at Duke University, we use Tom Hughes' text The Finite Element Method: Linear Static and Dynamic Finite Element Analysis. ADINA (Automatic Dynamic Incremental Nonlinear Analysis) - a versatile program that works on the basis of the finite element method used for the engineering of linear and non-linear calculations. Keywords: Cam shaft, Finite Element Method, Force analysis. Boundary conditions » centrifugal for solid & shell elements » self-weight » point & pressure loads visualizaion of stresses on frames/trusses » cut-away tool to view inside of the model » animated deformation. The objective is to determine the stress distribution on the cam shaft for both static and dynamic case and finding out the factor of safety. ADINA can solve the structural and thermal problems, count for, conduct multifizicheskie ADINA Structures - calculation module static and dynamic strength of solids and structures.
