Introduction to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Finite Element Method (FEM) Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Finite Element Method (FEM) The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a numerical method for solving problems of engineering and mathematical physics. Useful for problems with complicated geometries, loadings, and material properties where analytical solutions can not be obtained. The Purpose of FEA Analytical Solution • • Stress analysis for trusses, beams, and other

associated with competitive advantage. This presentation is about a research that investigates the mediating role of INNOVATION between CRM and PERFORMANCE on a firm performance because there is a lack of research on that. The authors use structural equation modeling to test the relationships among these constructs. At the end the results shows that: - the result supporting the impact of CRM and INNOVATION on performance - indicated that the indirect effect of CRM on firm performance through innovation

Interesting article supporting logistics value as part of the SCM chain “main Contributor”. In business practice and the academic study of logistics, the incorporation of concepts such as quality followed by value has been truly revolutionary. In addition, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) has substantially modified the way inter-company relationships are managed. This has meant that logistics is no longer considered a routine, merely operational activity but a strategic

1.0 Introduction In this era of information technology, civil engineers rely heavily on software to perform their design tasks. Unfortunately, most commercial structural analysis packages are closed-source, which means that the operations that the program performs cannot be inspected by the user. Moreover, such software packages are invariably very pricey, and, hence, are generally not affordable for students and smaller engineering firms. The objective of this design project was to design

Theory of Planned Behavior of Ajzen with the additional factor of perceived financial control, it is hoped that an improved framework can be obtained for predicting customer intention to purchase counterfeits. The hypotheses were tested via Structural Equation Modeling technique. The results indicated that subjective norms exert the greatest impact on customer intention to purchase counterfeits, while additional factor of perceived financial control negatively affects intentions. This investigation can

students enrolled on the statistics course in the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Barcelona. Consequently, this paper attempts to determine the factors that affect student performance in this subject by undertaking an analysis of a structural equation model and determining its stability over time. In order to accomplish our objective, we worked with two samples of students enrolled statistics classes. The first group comprised 211 students enrolled in the academic year 2000– 2001, while the second
