accuracy

Materials Testing is that part of engineering design, development and research that relies on laboratory testing of one kind or another to answer questions. Testing is also required during manufacturing to ensure a material or product meets some predefined specification. A universal testing machine is used to measure the mechanical properties of materials intension, compression, bending or torsion. Common properties of interest include Offset Yield Strength, Young’s Modulus, Poisson's Ratio, Tensile and Compression Strength and Total Elongation.

                         Accurate Implicit Time Integration in Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis

Using an effective time marching procedure is an important aspect in the implicit finite element analysis

of nonlinear dynamic problems. Here, we demonstrate some of the difficulties that can arise through an

example involving contact chatter and fluid structure interaction:
