Aim • Understand the concept of lumped element modelling • Understand variational solution in the mechanical domain • Understand Rayleigh Ritz in the mechanical domain
What is lumped element modelling? • Reduction of the number of variables Lowrie et. al 2005 • Mapping onto electrical domain (optional)
It involves • Turning partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations • Approximations and more approximations • (Ab-)use of available tools
