Finite Volume Method

Submitted by smitra on Sat, 01/21/2012 - 01:36

I am seeking advice on the capability of using Finite Volume Method to solve Hyperelastic Solid deformation. Can anyone help me to get a proper direction to analyze very large deformable structural problems?

Thanks,

Weak form

If there are two coulpled diffrential equations , say f1(u,e) anf f2(u,e) ?

Now i can solve these either by weak form or minimizing least square form .

Is it possible to solve f1 by least-square and f2 by weak form ?
