i would like to understand the arc length and line search method against Newton raphson method how the stiffness matrix updation and the general procedure is done my question is with reference to non linear fea

i want to throughly understand the principle of virtual work. why this principle was invented? "sum of work done by forces is zero". such a definition is very vague for me. can anyone explain?

this is not coursework. i drop an object from a height. that means it is a high strain rate problem. can i use a static stress strain diagram and calculate the area under the curve can i compare the strain energy of the impact and compare it with the area under the static stress strain diagram

let me explain i do a static tensile test and get the stress strain graph. the area under the graph is the toughness that means i can use this static toughness data to predict the failure under impact loads other idea is that i have done a impact toughess test. if i can get the...

i have found the damping factor of a plate from experimental vibration. how can i find the damping coefficient of the material of the plate

bernoullis theroem - sorry rewording my first question 1)when a fluid flows through narrower cross section it should move at higher velocity to maintain mass flow rate. 2)for a fluid to move at a higher velocity as in the above statement the pressure difference between the higher...
