The modal analysis provides an overview of the limits of a system’s responses. For example, it gives a general answer to the question of what…

Crashworthiness is the ability of a structure to protect its occupants during an impact. This is commonly tested during the safety of aircrafts or vehicles.…

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has shifted attention to the airborne (also commonly referred to as ‘aerosols’) transmission of exhaled droplet nuclei within indoor environments. Therefore,…

While many parts may work well initially, they often fail in service due to fatigue failure caused by repeated cyclic loading. Characterizing the capability of…

Parameter optimisation is one of the biggest issues of engineers, particularly who use FE software. Sometimes, it needs to be investigated design parameters that are…
