Abstract A numerical approach is an effective means of solving boundary value problems (BVPs). This study focuses on physical problems with general partial differential equations (PDEs). It investigates the solution approach through the standard forms of the PDE module in COMSOL. Two typical mechanics problems are exemplified: The deflection of a thin plate, which can be addressed with the dedicated finite element module, and the stress of a pure bending beam that cannot be tackled. The procedure for the two problems regarding the three standard forms required by the PDE module is detailed. The results were More >
