Finite Element Methods in Mechanics - Part I of II
(Invited Minisymposium)
(For Part II, see MS67)
10:30 AM-12:30 PM
Room: Savannah 1
This minisymposium will focus on some recent results in the
application of finite element methods to problems in solid mechanics.
Topics include locking-free elements for elasticity, plates and
shells, limits of elastic stability, and solution techniques such as
multigrid methods, least squares methods, mortar methods and
superconvergent patch recovery.
