Finite Element Method

Abstract: The objective of this article is to give an overview of finite element methods that currently are used extensively in academia and industry. The method is described in general terms, the basic formulation is presented, and some issues regarding effective finite element procedures are summarized. Various applications are given briefly to illustrate the current use of the method. Finally, the article concludes with key challenges for the additional development of the method.

“…Second, the solutions of the structural equations and the flow equations have been obtained using a direct sparse solver with full Newton-Raphson iterations. However, different solver schemes, in particular much more efficient for the fluid equations when the number of elements becomes very large, are frequently used, in ADINA and otherwise, see for example, [43]. The performance comparisons may look different when different problems are solved and other solver schemes are used.…”

“…While problems of various characteristics were solved, still, only specific problems were considered and in general rather small problems in number of equations. Moreover, the solutions of the structural equations and the flow equations were calculated using a direct sparse solver with full Newton-Raphson iterations although different solver schemes, in particular much more efficient for the fluid equations when the number of elements becomes very large [42], are frequently used in the partitioned approach. The performance comparisons may consequently look different when different problems are solved and other solver schemes are used.…”

“…Recourse is always made to some type of mathematical model, usually a set of partial differential equations (PDEs). The resulting problem is solved numerically using a wide variety of discretisation methods including finite element methods [22][23][24][25][26], finite differences, meshfree methods [27], isogeometric approaches [28,29], geometry independent field approximation [30,31], scaled-boundary finite elements [32][33][34][35][36], boundary element approaches [37], enriched boundary elements [38] or combinations thereof [39][40][41].…”
