In the classical form of the finite element method called the h version, piecewise polynomials of fixed degree p are used and the mesh size h is decreased for accuracy. In this paper, we discuss the ...

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 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 ...
