One of the common classes of equations that is encountered in several branches of science is partial differential equations. So in this article, I look at a software package called FreeFem++ that is ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 28, No. 4 (Aug., 1991), pp. 1004-1014 (11 pages) In this work a finite element method is introduced for the Mindlin-Reissner model that describes the ...

In the classical form of the finite element method called the h version, piecewise polynomials of fixed degree p are used and the mesh size h is decreased for accuracy. In this paper, we discuss the ...

The Helmholtz equation is a fundamental partial differential equation that underpins the analysis of wave propagation, acoustic scattering and electromagnetic phenomena. Its numerical solution is ...

Methods for treating material and geometric nonlinearities by finite elements; transient analysis: explicit and implicit time integration, partitioned methods, and stability; hybrid and mixed elements ...

An introduction to finite element methods using popular commercial packages. The features common to different programs as well as special features of particular programs are presented. Primary focus ...

Princeton's Dr. Jean H. Prévost and Serguei Bagrianski have released a book with World Scientific, entitled, An Introduction to Matrix Structural Analysis and Finite Element Methods. Based on a course ...

LAWRENCE -- The computer simulations used to design, optimize, test or control a vast range of objects and products in our daily lives are underpinned by finite element methods. Finite element ...
