One of the simplest frameworks for a needs analysis is the three-stage comprehensive needs assessment used by the United States Department of Education. This method defines a "need" as the difference ...

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a cornerstone of modern computational mechanics, enabling the simulation of complex physical systems by subdividing a continuum into discrete finite elements. This ...

A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is an analysis that predicts the consequences of disruption of a business function by gathering and processing information needed to develop recovery strategies, ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...

In this interview, Thermo Fisher discusses the technical innovations of the ARL QUANT’X EDXRF benchtop spectrometer and showcases how it is expanding the limits of light element analysis. What are the ...

Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a key technique for trace element analysis across a wide variety of sample types, due to its outstanding speed, detection sensitivity and ...

When it comes to FDM 3D prints and making them stronger, most of the focus is on the outer walls and factors like their layer adhesion. However, paying some attention to the often-ignored insides of a ...
