A method is presented for the solution of Poisson’s Equations using a Lagrangian formulation. The interpolation functions are the Lagrangian operation of those used in the classical finite element method, which automatically satisfy boundary conditions exactly even though there are no nodes on the boundaries of the domain. The integration is introduced in an implicit way by using approximated step functions. Classical surface integration terms used in the weak form are unnecessary due to the interpolation function in the Lagrangian formulation. Furthermore, the Lagrangian formulation simplified the connection between the mesh and the solid structures, thus providing a very easy way to solve the problems without a conforming mesh.

In this paper, parameter-uniform numerical methods for a class of singularly perturbed one-dimensional parabolic reaction-diffusion problems with two small parameters on a rectangular domain are studied. Parameter-explicit theoretical bounds on the derivatives of the solutions are derived. The method comprises a standard implicit finite difference scheme to discretize in temporal direction on a uniform mesh by means of Rothe's method and finite element method in spatial direction on a piecewise uniform mesh of Shishkin type. The method is shown to be unconditionally stable and accurate of order O(N-2( ln N)2 + Δt). Numerical results are given to illustrate the parameter-uniform convergence of the numerical approximations.

This paper reports a systematic study on the elastic property of bulk silicon nanomaterials using the atomic finite element method. The Tersoff-Brenner potential is used to describe the interaction between silicon atoms, and the atomic finite element method is constructed in a computational scheme similar to the continuum finite element method. Young’s modulus and Poisson ratio are calculated for[100],[110], and[111] silicon nanowires that are treated as three-dimensional structures. It is found that the nanowire possesses the lowest Young’s modulus along the[100] direction, while the[110] nanowire has the highest value with the same radius. The bending deformation of[100] silicon nanowire is also modeled, and the bending stiffness is calculated.
