  Linear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerned with the study of vectors, vector spaces (or linear spaces), linear transformations, and systems of linear equations.
Namely, linearity of a differential equation means that if two functions f and g are solution of the equation, then their sum f+g is also a solution of the equation.
In electronics, the linear operating region of a transistor is where the collector-emitter current is related to the base current by a simple scale factor, enabling the transistor to be use as an amplifier that preserves the fidelity of audio signals.

 CS 267 Assignment 1
At a given load step in the linear elastic analysis of a structure, the state determination for the structural elements is trivial and does not require iteration to satisfy any form of equilibrium.
This internal resistance is provided by the elements, where a second level of iteration is required to ensure that the loads transferred to the elements are equilibrated by the elements' resisting forces.
In a sequential computing environment, elements are queried one by one for their tangent stiffness, which is then assembled into the global system of equilibrium equations.

 Linear Reference System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Linear Reference System (LRS) is a system used with the GRASS Geographic information system where features are localised by a measure along a linear element.
The system is designed so that if a segment of a route is changed only those milepoints on the changed segment need to be updated.
The LRS is suitable for management of data related to linear features like roads, railways and rivers.

 Mechanics of Solids: Finite elements 101
The basic principle behind the finite element method is evidently exceedingly simple.  The key to its success is to devise an implementation that minimizes the computational cost associated with calculating and storing the stiffness matrix, and solving the resulting system of linear equations.
Within each element, we interpolate the displacement field through the nodes on that element only.  So, we would use a linear interpolation between the nodes on a 2-noded element, a quadratic interpolation between the nodes on a 3 noded element, and so on.
Generic linear and quadrilateral 1-D elements are illustrated below.  The local nodes on the element are numbered 1 and 2 for the linear element, and 1,2,3 for the quadratic element as shown.  We suppose that the element lies in the region

Routes are the most common type of linear element, despite the fact that they are so unsuitable as a foundation element; in addition to changes to the underlying roadway alignment, routes may be re-designated, moved to another roadway, or share roadways with other routes.

In each linear problem it is assumed that the total solution has its boundary conditions inserted and that the correction vector must have zeroes for all entries where the value is known.
The number to be returned is max_e i-j+1, where e denotes an element and i and j are degree of freedom num­ bers in that element (i.e., i and j are unknowns in the element).

 Finite Element Methods
Numerical discretization methods, such as finite element procedures, have become an indispensable part of engineering research as well as engineering analysis and design, for the analysis of structures, solids, fluids and similar field problems.
The one-term course on finite element methods intends to offer students an insight into the mechanical and mathematical foundations of numerical discretization methods, especially finite element methods, as well as demonstrating typical aspects of computer implementation of the appropriate algorithms.
The extension of linear discretization methods, such as linear finite element methods, into the non-linear regime leads to a variety of new problems, starting from continuum mechanics formulation and ending with solution techniques for sets of non-linear differential equations.

 Mathematics of Computation
Piecewise linear finite element methods are not localized
Abstract: Recent results of Schatz show that standard Galerkin finite element methods employing piecewise polynomial elements of degree two and higher to approximate solutions to elliptic boundary value problems are localized in the sense that the global dependence of pointwise errors is of higher order than the overall order of the error.
We show via simple one-dimensional examples that Schatz's estimates are sharp in that localization indeed does not occur when piecewise linear elements are used.

It is not a reference book, and is primarily targeted at a person who has experience with linear finite element analyses (FEA) and now wants to undertake non-linear analyses.
A typical reader could be a recent engineering undergraduate whose degree is likely to include linear finite element analysis, or a more experienced stress analyst who has currently only undertaken linear analyses.
Such people will be familiar with the concepts of finite element analyses and need to be made aware of how this can be extended to include non-linearity.

 Dimensional Model Reduction in Non-linear Finite Element Dynamics of Solids and Structures   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
A general approach to the dimensional reduction of non-linear finite element models of solid dynamics is presented.
Because of this `global' time viewpoint, the basis need not be updated as with reduced bases computed from a linearization of the full finite element model.
If the dynamics of a finite element model is expressed in terms of a small number of basis vectors, the asymptotic cost of the solution with the reduced model is lowered and optimal scalability of the computational algorithm with the size of the model is achieved.

Thus the size of the linear equation is almost the same as for the number of quadrilaterals used in the original method.
There is no need for double integration and thus the linear approximation requires a simpler numerical integration to calculate the form factors than constant approximation.
