Abstract: The finite element method has been extensively applied to the solution of static and dynamic problems. Some work has been done in finite element wave propagation but matrix techniques typically ...

Abstract: An optimization problem involving the thermal deflections of two parallel circular disks is examined. Error bounds are developed for both the finite-element solution and the optimization problem. ...

Abstract: Results of a numerical analysis completed in conjunction with the analytical development of a previous work are presented. The problem is an optimization study involving the thermal deflections ...
