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 ...

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 ...

In 2013, Boeing rolled out the first 787-9 Dreamliner, the newest member of the super-efficient 787 family. In order to power this massive aircraft, Rolls-Royce designed the state of the art Trent ...

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 ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 53, No. 1 (2015), pp. 43-62 (20 pages) The first-order div least squares finite element methods (LSFEMs) allow for an ...

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 ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...
