    This document provides an overview of finite element analysis (FEA). It explains that FEA is a numerical method originally developed for solving solid mechanics problems, but now commonly used for multiphysics problems. It lists several areas where FEA can be applied, such as structure analysis, solid mechanics, dynamics, thermal analysis, electrical analysis, and biomaterials. The document also defines some key FEA concepts like boundary, solid, and boundary conditions. Finally, it states that FEA finds an approximate solution to problems in solid mechanics.

    FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

    (ME8692)

    Dr.P.Parandaman, M.E., Ph.D.,


    Associate Professor,
    Department of Mechanical Engineering,
    Dhirajlal Gandhi College of Technology,
    Salem - 636309.
    • What is Finite Element Analysis (FEA)?
    FEA is originally developed for solving solid mechanics problem.
    A numerical method. Traditionally, a branch of Solid Mechanics.
    Nowadays, a commonly used method for multiphysics problems.

    • What areas can FEA be applied?


    -- Structure analysis: a cantilever, a bridge, an oil platform…
    -- Solid mechanics: a gear, a automotive power train …
    -- Dynamics: vibration of Tower, earthquake, bullet
    impact…
    -- Thermal analysis: heat radiation of finned surface, thermal
    stress brake disc…
    -- Electrical analysis: Piezo actuator, electrical signal
    propagation…
    -- Biomaterials: human organs and tissues…
    Concepts:
    • Boundary : The surface enclosing the geometry
    • Solid : Interior + Boundary
    • Boundary conditions : Any prescribed quantities,
    such as prescribed displacements and prescribed
    tractions on the boundary

    Solid Mechanics
    FEA is a numerical method that offers a means to
    find this Approximate Solution
