Solving engineering problems using the finite difference method applied to Scilab
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
This paper describes the procedures adopted, and the results found, in the numerical resolution of a problem of plate flexion, through the finite difference method. The two-dimensional problem was proposed as being a plate that is partially subjected to a uniformly distributed load, and rests on an elastic base, set at its ends and supported on its sides. Given the boundary conditions, an algorithm with the finite difference method was developed. The programming language used was SciLab, and the results were expressed both numerically and graphically. Theoretical fundamentals, program elements and the analysis of their performance are expressed in detail in the following text, including elements that facilitate the use in engineering classes, following a didactic approach, so that it can be reproduced in classrooms of courses of engineering.
