Finite Element Method (FEM) is a common simulation method in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) or studying natural phenomenon by numerically solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Programmable solvers for generic physics and geometry are thus highly desirable. However, the classical solvers are mostly complex systems in terms of both their mathematical...
Using carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) to reduce vehicle weight has received growing attentions because it can effectively curtail greenhouse gas emissions and slow down global warming. The thermoforming process is among the most promising techniques for mass production of CFRP parts because it is highly automated and has relatively...
