MURANA %J Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies %D 2011 %I AcademicDirect %X The focus of this work is to present a finite element method (FEM)-based program of the M-E design on MATLAB protocol. The response output generated at critical locations are presented. The results were then compared with those from a locally available program called NEMPADS and a reasonable comparison were achieved. %K Mechanistic-Empirical %K Finite Element Method %K MATLAB %U http://lejpt.academicdirect.org/A20/069_084.pdf
