To derive Newton's method, it is convenient to start with a Taylor series expansion of the residual function: $$ R(u_i) = R(u_{i-1}) + \frac{\partial \textbf{R ...

This project demonstrates the implementation of a 2D truss solver using Finite Element Analysis in Python. It computes nodal displacement, reaction forces and axial element forces for truss structures ...

What Are FEM, FDM and FVM? FEM, FDM and FVM differ from one another in important ways. Understanding these distinctions is key to selecting the method most appropriate for your purposes. The ...
