Maurice Jaswon: link to a biographical note

Submitted by Mogadalai Gururajan on

I recently posted a C code for the solution of Eshelby problem based on the paper by Jaswon and Bhargava.

In the last couple of days, I learnt that Jaswon also worked with Cottrell on solute drag and is one of the pioneers of boundary element method. The following paper by Martin gives a nice introduction to Jaswon and his work -- along with a complete listing of Jaswon's papers. There is also a lovely photograph of Jaswon with R D Bhargava in the paper and the first few references are also a good place for those who want to understand the history of boundary element method.

MATLAB for thermal simulation

Submitted by riscy00 on

I'm currently studying FEA/CFD and BEM for thermal simulation of custom dies within custom package mounted on custom PCB with encapsulate material (epoxy). I getting familar with CFD concept which seem overkill from ANSYS IcePack (too expensive) but exploring BEM technology from E3D in france (via Vishay).

I have access to MATLAB from other company to try it out for thermal modelling (BEM).

FEM Is Not a Local Method (and It Isn't Global Either)

Submitted by Ajit R. Jadhav on

In the literature, FEM has sometimes been characterized as a local approach, but IMO this needs to be corrected.



The piecewise continuous trial-functions of FEM can be looked at from two different viewpoints:
