SAS 2235The Finite Element Method(FEM) is one of many numerical methods to approximate solutions to ordinary and partial differential equations. FEM has been applied to numerous problems found in the fields of Fluid Mechanics, Electromagnetics, Lagrangian Mechanics, etc. While there are many approaches to the Finite Element Method, I will present the Galerkin approach. I will…
