โœฆ Synopsis

Results obtained with the finite element method are greatly affected by the overall dimensions of the mesh and the number and size of the elements used. Proper choice of the boundary conditions is also necessary to obtain an accurate estimate of the unknowns of the problem. This paper discusses some factors that influence the results of a finite element idealization of the problem of earth pressure behind a gravity wall with a dry, cohesionless backfill.

An analysis of some nonconforming approximations of the Stokes problem is presented. The approximations are based on a strain-pressure variational formulation. In particular, a convergence and stability result for a method recently proposed by Bathe and Pantuso is provided.

In this paper an e$cient three-dimensional hybrid thermal model for the pressure die casting process is described. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is used for modelling heat transfer in the casting, and the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for the die. The FEM can e$ciently account for the non-linearit
