Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• FEA is a method to solve differential equation.
• FEA is a numerical method for solving problems related to engineering
and mathematical physics
• It is useful for problems with complicated geometries, loadings and
material properties where analytical solutions can not be obtained.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Why prefer FEA over analytical method?
• Stress analysis for trusses, beams, and other simple structures are
carried out based on simplified and idealized geometry and material
property i.e., mass concentrated at the center of gravity, beam
simplified as a line segment (cross-section remains constant)
• Design is based on the calculation results of the idealized structure &
a large safety factor (1.5-3).
• FEA helps to understand the physical behaviors of a complex object
(strength, heat transfer capability, fluid flow, etc.)
• FEA predicts the performance and behavior of the design

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Brief History
• Grew out of aerospace industry
• Post-World War II jets, Missiles, space flight needs light weight
structures
• Required accurate stress analysis
• Paralleled growth of computers

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Discretization
• Object/body is modelled by dividing it into an equivalent system of finite smaller
bodies or units (known as elements) interconnected at points common to two or
more elements (nodes or nodal points) and/or boundary lines and/or surfaces.
