Σύνοψη

The finite element method is a computational technique based on numerical procedure which produces 3D modeling of structures allowing engineers to analyze stress factors within the structure when a variety of forces, vibrations and conditions are applied to the structure as a whole or any particular element of this structure.

Several experiments were performed on software called Algor to test a car chassis for the stresses applied on it during the engine running. Simulations and photos have been taken and an improvement procedure was followed to develop the mathematical model under structural modifications.

The results obtained with a finite element analysis, in my opinion' can be very accurate when a proper finite element model is used. The engineer, who wishes to develop a finite element code, must understand the finite element theory, first. The engineer, however, who wants only to use a finite element code, can work by simply having: rudimentary understanding of the fundamental concepts of the finite element method and training of the computer program that will be used.
