Finite element methods (FEM) have long been integral to the analysis and design of geotechnical systems, particularly when addressing issues of soil–structure interaction and extreme deformation ...

Finite-difference approximations for the first derivative, valid halfway between equidistant gridpoints, are in general much more accurate than the corresponding approximations, which are valid at ...

We consider the application of finite-difference methods to the numerical solution of boundary-value problems. In particular we are concerned to study the feasibility and convergence of the difference ...
