Finite Element Analysis Report Introduction Stressed skin structures are used prominently in aircraft design. These are placed under load on a daily basis‚ and thus must be monitored for safety reasons. When a metal or plate is placed under a load‚ the stress is usually never uniformly distributed throughout the part. Instead‚ it is concentrated in certain areas. Naturally‚ these areas of stress concentration are subject to fatigue and cracking more so than other elements on the metal. Furthermore

Maximum likelihood methods have been developed in order to construct the most probable phylogenetic tree. The earliest methods of calculating the maximum likelihood used gene frequency data‚ and more recent approaches involve algorithms of amino acid and nucleotide sequences. The general equation for the likelihood L of a phylogenetic tree is defined as the probability of observing the data in a given tree under a specific substitution pattern‚ L=(data│tree). The tree with the highest L value is
