In less frequent situations a more comprehensive analysis approach is used to analyze the structure as a whole. For example, a finite element analysis of an entire building may be performed. Obviously, the load path need not be predetermined when such global analysis methods are used. However, the load path is influenced by the type and level of detail of the modeling so that engineering judgment and experience are also necessary to achieve a safe and economical design,... 

A winding machine is typically equipped with computer control, and its programming is done offline. Winding pattern programs are often provided that interface with CAD programs and finite element analysis code. Such tools greatly enhance the process of concurrent engineering. Moreover, computer control allows the precise placement of the fiber on the part such that gap/overlap is minimized and the fiber orientation is controlled precisely. The... 

Stress/strain relationships for other torsional configurations can be found in Engineering Design with Rubber119 and Yeoh120 examined the torsion of cylindrical test pieces by finite element analysis. 

This chapter also does not consider the analysis of stresses around piping, connections, supports, attachments, and so on. While the experienced engineer can design a vessel to prevent failure at these locations, accurate analysis requires elaborate techniques such as the Finite Element Method. This method has been applied with great success to analyze complex vessels such as nuclear reaction vessels. The reader should consult appropriate references if he wishes to pursue this area. References 2 and 3 are basic textbooks in the field of finite element analysis.

Tools for the predictive behavior of a design have developed from classical and numerical methods of the past to the current finite element analysis (FEA) utilized by today s engineers and chemists. FEA is a computer-based analytical tool used to perform stress, vibration, and thermal analysis of mechanical systems and structures. A set of simultaneous equations will represent the behavior of a system or structure under load. Because this is a very important tool, some time will be devoted to the discussion of it, but this is not meant to be a comprehensive study. 

C.E. Miller and C.S. Henriquez. Finite element analysis of bioelectric phenomena. Crit. Rev. Biomed. Eng., 18 181-205,1990. This represents the first review paper on the use of the finite element method as applied to biomedical problems. As the authors note, bioengineers came to these methods only fairly recently, as compared to other engineers. It contains a good survey of applications.

A thorough analysis of the information available about the geometric behaviour of the structure, static computations - using finite element analysis - and various discussions between civil and surveying engineers resulted in the formulation of the specific requirements which have to be fulfilled by the new monitoring system. 

Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) Supports the analysis of design solutions by simulating the artifact under working circumstances. Typical methods are based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Mechanical Event Simulations (MES). In some cases, optimization tasks are also supported.
