Abstract:This paper proposes an extension of a modular modeling approach, originally developed for lumped parameter systems, to the derivation of FEM-discretized equations of motion of one-dimensional distributed parameter systems. This methodology is characterized by the use of a recursive algorithm based on projection operators that allows any constraint condition to be enforced a posteriori. This leads to a modular approach in which a system can be conceived as the top member of a hierarchy in which the increase of … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
