The finite element method is a powerful numerical technique that is used in all major engineering industries - in this video we'll explore how it works. We'll look at why it's useful to split the body ...

A preconditioning method for the finite element stiffness matrix is given in this paper. The triangulation is refined in a subregion; the preconditioning process is composed of resolution of two ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...
