Abstract |
The FEM(Finite Element Method) is widely adopted numerical technique for finding approximate solutions of various engineering problems in which partial differential equations (PDEs) are involved. Although the original purpose of the FEM is focused on numerical analysis itself due to its heavy computation time, this method has been adopted into control engineering field during the last decade to improve product or system performance. In this paper, this trend is briefly introduced. |
