    Finite element model versus beam theory model

    I don't suspect the FEA model to be incorrect, I just want to prove that it is correct. The FEA model can be far more useful than the beam model in a maintenance space, you can accurately model damage etc to ascertain changes in load path. The beam theory model was developed a while ago for a...

    Finite element model versus beam theory model

    Hi, I have recently developed a both a beam theory model and a finite element model of a bucket wheel reclaimer for different reasons. I am confident that the beam theory model is accurate and am trying to use the beam theory model to validate the finite element model. The problem I am having...
