Finite Element Analysis
Across
- 4. A weighted residual method where the integral of the residual over the entire domain is set to zero.
- 5. A stress state where the normal and shear stresses perpendicular to the plane are zero.
- 6. The process of dividing a domain into smaller, simple parts.
- 7. Shape Functions are used to interpolate values within an element.
- 8. The matrix that relates local natural coordinates to global coordinates.
- 10. The "M" in FEM stands for Method.
Down
- 1. The type of element where geometry and field variables use the same shape functions.
- 2. Pertaining to modes of vibration; Modal Analysis finds natural frequencies.
- 3. Gaussian Quadrature is a numerical technique to evaluate integrals.
- 5. The final stage in FEA where results are visualized.
- 9. Constant Strain Triangle, a common 2D element with three nodes.
