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 ...
In this paper, we propose and study different mixed variational methods in order to approximate with finite elements the unilateral problems arising in contact mechanics. The discretized unilateral ...
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 ...
