    This document introduces different methods for solving engineering problems: experimental, analytical, and numerical/computational methods. Experimental methods involve conducting experiments but can be difficult to mimic real-world conditions. Analytical methods use mathematical models and equations but solving differential/partial differential equations can be tedious. Numerical methods include functional approximation methods, finite element analysis (FEA), and finite difference methods (FDM). FEA and FDM will be discussed in class, including the differences between FEA and FDM.

    Methods of solving Engineering problems and finding the appropriate solu-


    tions

    1 Experimental method
    This method of finding the solution to the engineering problems is where an
    experiment is conducted under the simulated environment that mimics the real
    time application and then finding out the solution for the problem. Most of the
    times they are either scaled down, thus the error of uncertainty is an inherent
    problem in this method. The other major problem is that sometimes mimicking
    the real time environment is not possibly either because of the cost or either
    because of the complicity that is present. For instance working with nuclear
    weapons as well as nuclear power plants, mimicking them is very costly as well
    as they have the constraint of the limiting the radiations a person is exposed to.

    2 Analytical method
    In this method a mathematical model is developed for a problem, and thus in
    turn the equation derived is solved for obtaining an effective solution. This in
    turn also has some inherent problems as most of the problems that are time
    relevant thus they will lead to a either a differential or a partial differential
    equation. Solving these equation using the knows classical methods is a tedious
    process, as the time that is required for solving the problem is on the higher
    side. In addition to that solving the equation will lead to another unknown
    constant and to find out the unknown constants boundary condition have to
    solved. The same problem is also present in the case of integral problem.

    3 Numerical methods/ Computational Methods


    These are classified again into three different methods:

    3.1 Functional Approximating methods


    1. Functional - A function within a function

    1
    2. Physical problem is written in terms of differential equations or any pos-
    sible mathematical expressions
    3. By integrating and applying boundary conditions, an approximate solu-
    tion can be obtained

    4. There are a few different types of procedures that are available to solve
    (will be discussed later in the class elaboratly)
