Abstract: Smartphones are becoming increasingly ubiquitous both in general society and the workplace. Recent increases in mobile processing power have shown the current generation of smartphones has equivalent processing power to a supercomputer from the early 1990s. Many industries have abandoned desktop computing and are now entirely reliant on mobile devices. Given these facts it is logical that smartphones are considered as the next platform for finite element analysis (FEA). This paper presents an architecture for a smartphone FEA application using object-oriented programming. A MVC design pattern is adopted and a demonstration FEA application for the Android smartphone platform is presented.
