One popular method of solving these types of equations, and the one FreeFem++ uses, is the finite-element method. The basic idea with this method is to take the entire problem domain and subdivide it ...

ABSTRACT The helical spring is one of fundamental mechanical elements used in various industrial applications such as valves, suspension mechanisms, shock and vibration absorbers, hand levers, etc. In ...

Finite element methods have proved their versatility and reliability over the past 50 years. Currently, with the development of High Processing Computing Centres (HPC) and the progress of computing ...

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 ...
