TL;DR: This series lecture is an introduction to the finite element method with applications in electromagnetics, a numerical method used to solve boundary-value problems characterized by a partial differential equation and a set of boundary conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear inelastic force-based impact model was proposed to simulate the behavior of rubber under impact loading, taking also into account the limited thickness of the bumper, and a numerical example of simulated earthquake-induced pounding between two multistory buildings with the consideration of rubber bumpers at impact locations was presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a full-wave finite-element method (FEM) is formulated and applied in the analysis of practical electronic packaging circuits and interconnects, which is used to calculate S-parameters of unshielded microwave components such as patch antennas, filters, spiral inductors, bridges, bond wires and microstrip transitions through a via.

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite difference (FD) scheme with relaxation is formulated in order to solve the highly nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) that models the directors' tilt angle in the liquid crystal (LC) molecules.

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional finite-element method hybridized with the spectral/spatial domain method of moments is presented for the analysis of ferrite-tuned cavity-backed slot antennas.
