 Finite element limit analysis

Finite Element Limit Analysis (FELA) is a computational technique used in engineering and structural analysis to evaluate the limit load capacities of structures and materials. It combines the principles of finite element methods (FEM) with limit analysis, which involves determining the maximum load a structure can withstand before failure occurs. ### Key Concepts of Finite Element Limit Analysis: 1. **Limit Analysis Basics**: - Limit analysis is based on the concept of static equilibrium and plasticity.
