Universe phenomenology as understood from gravitational theories with non-vanishing torsion: cosmology and black holes by Beckering Vinckers, Ulrich Karoo

“…We then consider the case of a vacuum in spherical symmetry and construct a 1-dimensional code to evolve the system numerically. We leave the inclusion of torsion into this code as the subject for future work.…”

Shell finite elements, with applications in biomechanics by Bartle, Samantha

“…Implementation has been carried out in deal.II, an open source library of finite element code. Substantial detail is given about how the shell formulation was implemented; this includes preprocessing, programming of the solution algorithm, and post-processing of results. …”

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. …”
