We'll look at why it's useful to split the body being analysed into small elements and the different elements types that can be used. We'll also cover the key concept behind the finite element method, ...

The finite-element method was used to calculate the axial stress in an elastic fibre embedded in an elastic matrix to model a fibre-composite material. Axisymmetric models were created for cylindrical ...

American Journal of Botany, Vol. 94, No. 9 (Sep., 2007), pp. 1506-1514 (9 pages) Understanding the mechanism of tree anchorage in a forest is a priority because of the increase in wind storms in ...

The transport of fluid, nutrients, and signaling molecules in the bone lacunar–canalicular system (LCS) is critical for osteocyte survival and function. We have applied the fluorescence recovery after ...
