• Most problems are nonlinear from the get-go. • Simplified load-deflection cases can help explain nonlinear (structural) FEA. Which designers need nonlinear FEA and why? Actually, projects ranging ...

Here's when to use linear-static FEA and when to use a nonlinear program. Most engineering problems contain nonlinear effects. Take a paper clip, for example. Push on one end hard enough and the clip ...

The power quality of electrical distribution systems has a drastic effect on power regulation and consumption. Power quality includes all aspects of events in the power system that deviate from normal ...

Providing modern electronic devices with a diet of healthy power is not straightforward. Small AC-connected equipment often uses a capacitor-input filter following a half- or full-wave rectifier.
