Finite Strip Method/Evidence

Finite Strip Method

The finite strip method (FSM) is a semi-analytical numerical approach for analyzing prismatic or cylindrical structures by dividing them into strips in one direction and using analytical or exact solutions in the perpendicular direction. Developed by Cheung in 1976, FSM reduces computational cost and often provides superior accuracy for structures with regular geometry along one axis.
