• Most problems are nonlinear from the get-go. • Simplified load-deflection cases can help explain nonlinear (structural) FEA. Which designers need nonlinear FEA and why? Actually, projects ranging ...

Withstanding a certain static load at a maximum deflection without collapsing is the typical requirement for a mechanical structure. However, in actual scenario, the material is exposed to repeated ...
