When simple calculations fail to describe stress and deflections in complex models, such as the proposed diaphragm, you'll know it's time to bring FEA on board. The big question then is, which package ...

Rubber parts such as silicone diaphragms, septums, seals, valves, tubing, and balloons are critical components in many of today’s medical devices. FEA can be an excellent tool for design engineers to ...

Loads for most FEA problems are just good guesses. Here's how to stop relying on guessing. Finite-element analysis (FEA) simulates how models react to a range of environments. You define the ...
