Finite element methods (FEM) have become indispensable tools for simulating wave propagation phenomena across a range of applications, from acoustics and electromagnetics to earthquake modelling. At ...

In 2013, Boeing rolled out the first 787-9 Dreamliner, the newest member of the super-efficient 787 family. In order to power this massive aircraft, Rolls-Royce designed the state of the art Trent ...

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 ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 53, No. 1 (2015), pp. 43-62 (20 pages) The first-order div least squares finite element methods (LSFEMs) allow for an ...

Recent results of Schatz show that standard Galerkin finite element methods employing piecewise polynomial elements of degree two and higher to approximate solutions to elliptic boundary value ...

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 ...

A new technical paper titled “Solving sparse finite element problems on neuromorphic hardware” was published by researchers at Sandia National Lab. Abstract “The finite element method (FEM) is one of ...
