A Proper Orthogonal Decomposition-based inverse material parameter optimization method with applications to cardiac mechanics by Moodley, Kamlin

“…The calibration results are then compared against the full-order solution which is obtained using an in-house code based on the element-free Galerkin method, which is assumed to be the exact solution. …”

Elastic Mesh Deformation for Internal Flows with Moving Boundaries by Mohammed, Ali Alaa Abdelkareem Awad

“…As such a tank with a flexible internal beam serves as the tested case employed in this work. As such a computer code was developed and the elastic deformation was implemented via the Finite Element Galerkin method with two methods to control the element's distortion near the moving boundaries, Jacobian-based stiffening modification and the distance criterion method. …”

Literature review of the use of common protective coatings for concrete structures with experiences in the South African context by Jappie, Luqmaan

“…South Africa does not have such a standard, but is in the process of adopting the European standards for concrete (South African Bureau of Standards, 2017), EN 206 and EN 1992 - it would thus be highly beneficial for South Africa to move towards the adoption of the EN 1504 code as well. EN 1504-9 is a very important part of the code, as it provides a structured approach to the investigation of the cause of deterioration and outlines the “Principles of protection and repair.” …”
