The finite element method (FEM) has evolved into a robust and flexible tool for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) defined on surfaces. Its versatility allows for the treatment of complex ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
