Mini-Symposium on Electro-Active Materials at WCCM IX
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.

Force Matrix for Transient Thermal Analysis
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
