Abstract: The solution of a differential equation contains the forward model and the inverse problem. The finite element method (FEM) and the iterative approach based on FEM are extensively used to ...

Beam-column connection in Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame is one of the most critical parts of the structure which has important role in seismic performance of these buildings. When a beam-column ...

The Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM) can be viewed as an extension of the Finite Element Method (FEM) where the approximation space is enriched by shape functions appropriately chosen. Many ...

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a numerical method for studying mechanical behavior of fluids and solids. The pyLabFEA package introduces a lightweight pure-python version of FEA for solid mechanics ...

FIFEMLab provides user friendly Matlab tools to generate 2D triangular meshes, solve PDEs with the Finite Element method and solve inverse parameters problems. It is fully object oriented in order to ...

Magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) materials, a new type of composite intelligent materials, exhibit excellent multifield coupling effects. Due to the heterogeneity of the materials, it is challenging to ...

At 11:03 A.M. on April 17, 2018, metal fatigue caused a fan blade to break off inside the left engine of Southwest flight 1380 en route from New York to Dallas at 32,000 feet. The rupture blew the ...

What Are FEM, FDM and FVM? FEM, FDM and FVM differ from one another in important ways. Understanding these distinctions is key to selecting the method most appropriate for your purposes. The ...

This contribution proposes two third-order numerical schemes for solving time-dependent linear and non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs). For spatial discretization, a compact fourth-order ...

Abstract: A novel FEM called interface finite element method (I-FEM) is proposed for the step size-varying electro-quasistatic field (EQS) in this paper. First, the corresponding equation and ...
