Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) in Computational Mechanics

by Donard de Cogan, William J. O'Connor, Susan Pulko

Overview

The finite element method reigns as the dominant technique for modeling mechanical systems. Originally developed to model electromagnetic systems, the Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) method proves to match, and in some cases exceed, the effectiveness of finite elements for modeling several types of physical systems.
