Abstract: |
FXM = Finite X Method, for X = Difference, Element, Interpolation, Volume, etc. In the process of approximating solutions to the equations of material dynamics models, FXMs produce numerical artifacts. Here we explore some attempts to avoid, suppress, and/or estimate these errors such as: discrete models based on first principles of physics; free grid methods; grid free methods. |
