New system to advance predictions in engineering
Researchers from The University of Western Australia, the University of Cambridge and The Alan Turing Institute have radically redesigned and improved techniques for making predictions in the engineering and physical sciences.
The research, published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), builds on the well-known Finite Element Method (FEM), which has been used as a predictive tool in engineering and physical sciences for more than 70 years.
Connor Duffin, PhD student from UWA’s School of Physics, Mathematics and Computing and lead researcher on the project, said it was that the first time a key missing ingredient was included in observed data.
