Researchers have designed and fabricated a fast-response, stiffness tunable (FRST) soft actuator which is able to complete a softening-stiffening cycle within 32 seconds.

Matrix algebra and the Rayleigh-Ritz technique are applied to the development of the finite element method. The minimum potential energy theorem, calculus of variations, Galerkin's and the ...

D printing has come a long way since its invention in 1983 by Chuck Hull, who pioneered stereolithography, a technique that ...

MIT researchers increase 3D printing strength with SustainaPrint - developing a system that strengthens only the weakest zones of 3D prints.

An Introduction to Matrix Structural Analysis and Finite Element Methods is designed to be accessible to anyone with a basic understanding of statics, calculus, linear algebra, and coding.
