The finite element method is a powerful numerical technique that is used in all major engineering industries - in this video we'll explore how it works. We'll look at why it's useful to split the body ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 35, No. 2 (Apr., 1998), pp. 560-571 (12 pages) A new mixed finite element method is formulated for the Stokes equations, in which the two components of the ...

The initial-boundary value problem for a linear parabolic equation with the Dirichlet boundary condition is solved approximately by applying the finite element discretization in the space dimension ...

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 ...
