Linear vs Nonlinear FEA: When Linear Analysis Is No Longer Enough for Structural Verification

Linear vs Nonlinear FEA: When Linear Analysis Is No Longer Enough for Structural Verification

An engineer completes a linear static analysis. The model solves without difficulty; stresses and displacements look reasonable, and the verification…

When Global FEA Is Not Enough for Wind Turbine Support Structures

When Global FEA Is Not Enough for Wind Turbine Support Structures

A global FEA model may satisfy global checks, but that does not always prove local fatigue-sensitive details are adequately verified. …

How to Apply Wind Loads to Crane Structures in FEA Using EN 13001 and F.E.M. 1.001

How to Apply Wind Loads to Crane Structures in FEA Using EN 13001 and F.E.M. 1.001

In crane and lifting-structure analysis, wind is not a single horizontal force applied uniformly across the model. The resulting wind…
