Does anyone know where I can find the stress field of a perforated strip?
I am trying to get the shrinkage rate of a void in a finite grain which is simplified as a rectangular region within a circular hole. So I need to find out the stress field to get the chemical potentials.
Online meeting scheduling
Scheduling a meeting with more than 3 participants can be a headache. The organizer often needs to email or call the group, and wait for feedbacks. Quite often both the organizer and the participants need to go through such a process several rounds to finalize the schedule.

What are the basic difficulties of using the collocation techniques for solving PDE’s?
Hello, Can anybody inform me what are the basic difficulties of using point collocation (strong form) kind of method for solving pde's when compared with solving its weak statement? I have listed a few, known to me,
