Submitted by Serdar Goktepe on

Dear Colleagues,



We like to draw your attention to the mini-symposium



MS6043 - Computational Mechanics of Electro-Active Materials



organized by Prof. Ellen Kuhl, Prof. Andreas Menzel and myself in the

WCCM IX. The abstract outlining the objectives of this integrative

mini-symposium is enclosed to this post as plain text and also as a

pdf-attachment.

Hi,



I have developed a 2D transient thermal analysis FE code which doesn't
seem to be correct. I am sure there is a conceptual problem in the
formulation itself which I have not been able to understand and could
not find concrete information in books.



I am putting up the question in a very simplified form so as to address the correctness of the formulation.



Let's say we have a square of unit length with 4 nodes at each corner
(Q4 element). Initial temperatures are specified as 100 for all nodes
