16th International Conference on Experimental Mechanics ICEM16, 7-11 July 2014 in Cambridge, UK
The 16th in a series of conferences, starting in Delft in 1959 and following on from the last conference in Porto in 2012 this is the premier event to showcase novel and innovative research in Experimental Mechanics. The conference will take place in Cambridge with the accommodation at Robinson College and the technical sessions at both Robinson and the West Road Concert Hall.
Tension in Non - linear springs - How do I measure it?
Dear sir,
I am modeling ligament structures in the knee joint finite element model
with non-linear springs and I am successfully getting non-linear
displacement curve.
My only problem is with the calculation of tension in the springs. I
have a set of non-linear springs representing a particular ligament in
the joint, which is having an elongation when I apply the forces on the
joint. I am giving pre-load to the springs so that they do not have any
slack in them before the analysis. I am also specifying the stiffness of

Convergence of a Solution
The Solution of a Differential Equation or a Set of Differential Equations Converges vers the Exact if it is Consistant and it is Stable : Lax's Theorem. Since the Exact is not always known it is convenient to apply this Theorem. Numerical instabilities are a result of Roundoff errors and Truncation errors. The Domain of Stability can be obtained from a Von Newman analysis in the Complex domain. This implies a condition (relation) between the variation steps.
