Finite element methods (FEM) have become indispensable tools for simulating wave propagation phenomena across a range of applications, from acoustics and electromagnetics to earthquake modelling. At ...

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 ...

Course Description: This course provides a practical introduction to the Finite Element Method (FEM), with an emphasis on hands-on implementation using Python. It covers the basic theoretical concepts ...

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 ...

In this article we consider a two-level finite element Galerkin method using mixed finite elements for the two-dimensional nonstationary incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The method yields a ...

In advanced engineering circles, the finite element method — or, more commonly, finite element analysis — is a real staple. With the advent of more powerful home computers, though, even your home ...
