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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A class of finite element methods is proposed for first order hyperbolic equations. The expository example chosen is of a single equation in ...

In the p-version of the finite element method, the triangulation is fixed and the degree p, of the piecewise polynomial approximation, is progressively increased until some desired level of precision ...

An Introduction to Matrix Structural Analysis and Finite Element Methods is designed to be accessible to anyone with a basic understanding of statics, calculus, linear algebra, and coding.

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 ...
