Use of the Kirchhoff transformation in finite element analysis

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

The Kirchhoff transformation, in conjunction with the finite element method, is proposed as a tool in solving non-linear heat conduction problems- A very simple way to obtain the inverse Kirchhoff transformation is shown, using the contour lines of the Kirchhoff variable obtained from a finite element analysis.
