A Study on Method and Modelling of Structural Analysis and Finite Elements: A Review
Abstract: The finite element method (FEM) or finite element analysis (FEA), is a numerical method usually employed for solving engineering (structural mechanics) and mathematical physics problems. Generally, the analytical solution of these problems require the solution to boundary value problems for partial differential equations. Specimens are usually tested and analysed using finite element method (FEM) for investigating the behaviour of square concrete columns confined by fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) and sheets.

INVESTIGATE THE BULGING EFFECT OF METALLIC SOLID CYLINDER UNDER COLD UPSETTING USING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Abstract: Friction is an integral part of metalworking and manufacturing processes due to the relative motion and forces continually acting on tools, dies, and workpieces. Friction both raises the effort and consumes energy. However, measuring friction is not straightforward and cannot be considered an independent parameter. In many metal-forming procedures, the impact of friction is just as crucial as other quantifiable factors. Various methods have been used to estimate friction, assuming …
