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 ...

The Helmholtz equation is a fundamental partial differential equation that underpins the analysis of wave propagation, acoustic scattering and electromagnetic phenomena. Its numerical solution is ...

Amateur radio operators have played a longstanding game of “Will It Antenna?” If there’s something even marginally conductive and remotely resonant, a ham has probably tried to make an antenna out of ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A class of finite element methods is proposed for first order hyperbolic equations. The expository example chosen is of a single equation in ...

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 ...

This paper presents the vibration analysis of stiffened plates, using both conventional and super finite element methods. Mindlin plate and Timoshenko beam theories are utilized so as to formulate the ...

Engineers use finite element analysis (FEA) to predict the deformations, strains, stresses, and resistive forces of metallic stent frames under in vivo, in vitro, and manufacturing-induced loading ...
