MIT | Finite Element Procedures for Solids and Structures, Linear Analysis
Finite element analysis is now widely used for solving complex static and dynamic problems encountered in engineering and the sciences. In these two video courses, Professor K. J. Bathe, a researcher of world renown in the field of finite element analysis, teaches the basic principles used for effective finite element analysis, describes the general assumptions, and discusses the implementation of finite element procedures for linear and nonlinear analyses.
These videos were produced in 1982 and 1986 by the MIT Center for Advanced Engineering Study.
🏎 What is an Aero Map?
A map is a way of visualising the relationship between different parameters. For example, a geographical map can show altitude as a function of longitude and latitude. In the case of a racecar the aerodynamic lift, drag and balance can be shown as a function of car set-up such as front and rear ride height or rear wing angle. So, an aero map effectively visualises the relationship between the geometrical properties and the aerodynamic properties of a racecar.
💻 FEM - Material & Geometric Nonlinearity
The blog post by my friend Lukasz Skotny highlights the significance of nonlinear analysis in engineering practice, especially when facing intricate problems beyond simple linear calculations. Nonlinear analysis becomes essential when dealing with high stresses, plasticity, or changes in geometry.
🎙️ Physicists Uncover New Dynamical Framework for Turbulence
Physicists from Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered that turbulence can be understood and quantified using a small set of special solutions to fluid dynamics equations. This finding challenges the traditional view of turbulence as a random process and opens new possibilities for predicting and controlling turbulent flows. The research was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on August 19, 2022.
