NAFEMS has produced many benchmarks for the assessment of finite element systems. The presentation of these benchmarks is generally in the compact form of a single sheet, which defines the benchmark. This form of presentation is ideal for its purpose but does not show the difficult process and work that went into the design of the benchmark. This report gives an enlightening and educational view of the background to several standard NAFEMS benchmarks.

The work was performed by G.A.O Davies, R T Fenner and R W Lewis under the auspices of the NAFEMS General Technology Working Group.
