finite element

EK37

Since the actual variation of the field variable inside the continuum is not known, we assume that the variation of the field variable inside a finite element can be approximated […]

In finite element analysis, solution accuracy is judged in terms of convergence as the element “mesh” is refined.

EK25

The basic premise of the finite element method is to describe the continuous variation of the field variable in terms of discrete values at the finite element node.

EK24

The crux of the finite element method is that the values of the field variable computed at the nodes are used to approximate the values at non-nodal points in the […]
