Computation of Compact Distributions of Discrete Elements [PDF]
In our daily lives, many plane patterns can actually be regarded as a compact distribution of a number of elements with certain shapes, like the classic pattern mosaic. In order to synthesize this kind of pattern, the basic problem is, with given graphics elements with certain shapes, to distribute a large number of these elements within a plane region

Discrete element method to simulate continuous material by using the cohesive beam model [PDF]
The mechanical behavior of materials is usually simulated by the continuous mechanics approach. However, simulation of non-continuous phenomena like multi fracturing is not well adapted to a continuous description.

Finite element analysis for microscale heat equation with Neumann boundary conditions [PDF]
In this paper, we explore the numerical analysis of the microscale heat equation. We present the characteristics of numerical solutions obtained through both semi- and fully-discrete linear finite element methods.
