A new computational method is developed for numerical solution of the Richards equation for flow in variably saturated porous media. The new method, referred to as the mixed transform finite element method, employs the mixed formulation of the Richards equation but expressed in terms of a partitione

## Abstract Transformation of dependent variables as, for example, the Kirchhoff transformation, is a classical tool for solving nonlinear partial differential equations. This approach is used here in connection with the finite element method and explained first in case of nonlinear heat conduction
The approach of Cermak and Zlamal' for solving quasilinear parabolic equations is modified and improved. The modified approach leads to a normal system of ODE, which may be solved with a standard program. The numerical solution of a specially selected example is compared with the exact solution. The
## Abstract The formulation and finite element implementation of a finite deformation continuum theory for the mechanics of crystalline sheets is described. This theory generalizes standard crystal elasticity to curved monolayer lattices by means of the exponential Cauchy–Born rule. The constitutiv
