TL;DR: The finite element method (FEM) is a numerical technique used to perform finite element analysis of any given physical phenomenon as discussed by the authors, such as structural or fluid behavior, thermal transport, wave propagation, and the growth of biological cells.
Abstract: Introduction to finite element analysis: 1.1 What is ... The finite element method (FEM) is a numerical technique used to perform finite element analysis of any given physical phenomenon. It is necessary to use mathematics to comprehensively understand and quantify any physical phenomena, such as structural or fluid behavior, thermal transport, wave propagation, and the growth of biological cells.

TL;DR: In this article, a self-contained review of several semi-empirical fracture models for predicting notched strength of composite laminates is presented, based on notchedstrength data on 70 different laminate configurations of graphite/epoxy, boron/aluminum, and graphite polyimide.
Abstract: A self-contained review of several semiempirical fracture models for predicting notched strength of composite laminates is presented, based on notched strength data on 70 different laminate configurations of graphite/epoxy, boron/aluminum, and graphite/polyimide. Emphasis is placed on experimental results concerning such failure factors as delamination, splitting, and size of damage zone. Moreover, the fracture model parameters are correlated with the notch sensitivity of composite laminates, and the applicability of the correlations in describing the material notch sensitivity is evaluated. The predictions provided by the different models were found to be identical for all practical purposes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the features of an advanced numerical solution capability for boundary value problems of linear, homogeneous, isotropic, steady-state thermoelasticity theory are outlined.
Abstract: The features of an advanced numerical solution capability for boundary value problems of linear, homogeneous, isotropic, steady-state thermoelasticity theory are outlined. The influence on the stress field of thermal gradient, or comparable mechanical body force, is shown to depend on surface integrals only. Hence discretization for numerical purposes is confined to body surfaces. Several problems are solved, and verification of numerical procedures is obtained by comparison with accepted results from the literature.
