Preface

This document provides a description of the course “Methods in Civil Engineering” (in Italian) that I completed eight years ago while pursuing my master’s degree in civil engineering at the Polytechnic di Milano. I have organized the content into six sections:

• Section One: Basics (chapters 1, 2, and 3)• Part II: Elliptic Problems (Chapters 4 and 5)

• Part III: GFEM for elliptic problems in one and two dimensions (chapters 6 and 7)

• Part IV: GFEM for Linear Equations (Chapters 8 and 9)

• Section V: Examination Queries and Responses (Chapter 10)

• Part VI: Appendices (A, B, and C). Particular:

• Sections 1, 2, and 3 offer an overview of calculus, numerical linear algebra, and approximation theory.

• Components. Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the weak boundary problem and its estimation through the Galperin Finite Element Method (GFEM).

• Components. Figures 6 and 7 illustrate numerical studies of one-dimensional model problems and their application in two-dimensional finite element models for advection, diffusion, and reaction boundaries.

We discuss the foundations of numerical mathematics, which the remaining sections of the text will heavily utilize.

Specifically, a number of Linear Algebra and Numerical Analysis components will

We will cover topics such as approximating polynomial functions and solving linear systems.

The sequence of mistakes We have thus far presented the concept of error as the general difference between the solution of the continuous problem, referred to as the exact solution, and the solution of the numerical problem, which we will call the approximate or numerical solution. In fact, our definition of error lacks complete precision, as we are overlooking at least two other significant sources of error: the modeling error and rounding error. The modeling error relates to a potential inaccuracy in the mathematical model that represents the actual physical application, and/or a possible inaccuracy in the data used in the model formulation, which may arise from factors such as measurement machine tolerances or statistical fluctuations of the phenomena being studied. Therefore, we cannot fully control or reduce the modeling error. A computer algorithm runs a set of predictable machine operations in Matlab on a PC with a certain processor (Intel Pentium IV) and an operating system (Linux, Windows 7). This algorithm is what connects the rounding error to the way the computer does its work. We can track and precisely assess the rounding error depending on the machine arithmetic in use, but we cannot entirely eradicate it.
