SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 37, No. 1 (Nov. - Dec., 1999), pp. 246-268 (23 pages) Many physical materials of practical relevance can attain several variants of crystalline microstructure.

Finite element modelling is widely used in industry to solve an endless number of practical problems, often involving non-linearity and dynamic loading. This module will teach how to robustly develop ...

Using novel theoretical and modeling tools such as finite element analysis can greatly accelerate widespread applications in many areas of nanotechnology. Polymer reinforcement using fillers is a ...

Finite Element Methods for solving problems with material and geometric nonlinearities; transient dynamics analysis with explicit and implicit time integration, partitioned methods, and stability; ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We analyze the convergence of multigrid methods applied to finite element equations of second order with singularities caused by reentrant ...

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 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 ...

Welding is a common practice in the automotive, aerospace, railways, ship building, and machinery industries. It allows for the joining of components by subjecting them to intense localised heat that ...
