> any civil engineer could do the calculations in their sleep This sentence of Dr. Drang's article refers to FEA analysis of "applying a 1 g lateral acceleration to the three-pillar model and plotting out various stresses in the pillars". It's located directly below those plots and after his criticism of vibration analysis has finished. I agree that vibration analysis would be very hard without FEA, but applying a constant 1g lateral force to a cantilever beam could be easily done by paper and pen (well, maybe also a calculator) and is an overkill for FEA. |
