The nonconforming voxel finite-element method (NVFEM) is an alternative to conventional mesh generation that uses purely rectangular elements. Its main drawback is the need to approximate boundaries ...

An accurate method to compute dual field in high frequency time harmonic problem is presented. From a primal field obtained by a vector finite element discretization, the dual field is obtained ...

It should be noted that nodal shape functions constructed in cell-based smoothed finite element method have the Delta function property. Therefore, essential boundary conditions are imposed as in the ...

The rigid finite element method has been applied to obtain mathematical model of a rope. Because the equations of motion have not been formulated under the assumption of small vibrations, the model ...
