The aim of this journal is to provide ideas and information involving the use of the finite element method, including CAE, in professional practice. Subjects presented include static and dynamic, thermal and nonthermal, linear and nonlinear analysis and design. Areas covered include finite and boundary elements in heat transfer, solid, structural and fluid mechanics and their applications in chemical, electronic, power generation, and aerospace industries. Emphasis is placed on design-oriented finite element technology. Contributions are welcome on finite element methods implemented on micro, mini and main frame computers and their software related to solving finite element problems, as well as computer-aided engineering methods, optimal design algorithms, programming techniques, benchmarks, physical data processing procedures, and software reviews.
