Fundamental Concepts in Finite Element Method (FEM)
Sources of Nonlinearity:
- Constitutive relations (material)
- Changes of geometry (strain, displacements)
- Boundary Conditions (contact)
- Loads (deformation)
Why FEM is Important:
- It replaces a continuous structure with a model having a finite number of points.
- It describes physical phenomena for which analytical solutions are not known.
Nonlinear Elastic Materials:

Operating Cycle
The operating cycle is the average period of time required for a business to make an initial outlay of cash to produce goods, sell the goods, and receive cash from customers in exchange for the goods. This is useful for estimating the amount of working capital that a company will need in order to maintain or grow its business.
A company with an extremely short operating cycle requires less cash to maintain its operations, and so can still grow while selling at relatively small margins.
