Finite element method
Dear all,
I have a great intrest towards structures static analysis but the thing is i dont know FEM.I want to learn FEM from basics.it will be very help full for me if any body can suggest a book or provide me wid some softdata.please send me link or attachment to maruthir [at] infotechsw.com (maruthir[at]infotechsw[dot]com).
Thanking u,

Boundary conditions in corner nodes
Hello Dear
I have a problem about informing boundary conditions of a CFFF plate. How can I inform the boundary conditions of corner nodes?

Theories of Failure in Strain space
Hi all!
In theories of failure (e.g von-Mises, Tresca, Max. principal stress etc), yield funcion, f(sigma ij, Y) = 0 is plotted in principal stress space (sigma 1, sigma2 and sigma 3). Why shouldn't we express the same yield function, f(epsilon ij, epsilon Y) = 0 and plot in principal strain space?
Y = Yiled stress, sigma ij = stress ij, epsilon ij = strain ij. and espsilon Y = Yield strain = Y/E, E = Young's modulus
Any thoughtful comments???
