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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Vector Form Intrinsic Finite Element (VFIFE) method represents an advanced computational approach that redefines conventional finite element analysis through an intrinsic, vector‐based formulation ...

An introduction to finite element methods using popular commercial packages. The features common to different programs as well as special features of particular programs are presented. Primary focus ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
