Finite Element Methods in Mechanics (Part I of II, Invited Minisymposium)
The speakers in this minisymposium will present recent results in the
application of finite element methods to beams, plates, shells
and elasticity. The topics range from the design of finite element
methods to solution techniques such as domain decomposition methods,
least squares methods, mapping techniques and mutigrid methods.
