An Introduction to the Finite Element Method with the Variational Approach offers a comprehensive solution to the gaps often found in introductory texts on the Finite Element Method (FEM). The book provides a thorough introduction to the fundamental principles of linear and time-independent FEM within the variational framework. It meticulously covers the derivation of 1-D FEM equations based on variational functionals, encompassing both linear and higher-order elements, and shape functions driven by convergence criteria. Furthermore, it explores 1-D numerical integration, outlines coding procedures, and provides insights into handling material nonlinearity and time-dependent scenarios. Expanding into 2-D problems, the book offers derivations of 2-D FEM equations tailored to diverse engineering disciplines, including Steady-State Heat Conduction, Solid Mechanics (covering torsion, plane strain/axisymmetric cases, and the bending, stability, and vibrations of thin plates), as well as Fluid Mechanics (addressing incompressible inviscid and viscous fluids). It includes detailed discussions on element continuity, numerical integration techniques, and even includes 2-D codes for selected problems. The book concludes by delving into recent advancements in FEM, with a specific focus on applications in machine learning and isogeometric analysis.

Supercritical Fluids in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Technologies: From Controlled Drug Release Formulation to Tissue Engineering describes the well-studied, but previously not well summarised supercritical fluid technologies useful for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Supercritical technologies have been described over the last 20 years as innovative and capable of solving many problems relating to conventional chemical processes such as extraction, crystallization, foaming, drying precipitation, aerogels fabrications. This is generally true but there remain exceptions and limitations. Featuring extensive case studies and examples presenting from lab-scale to industrial scale, the author highlights the innovations of the described processes, but also their drawbacks, such as the difficulties to generalize the process application to several drugs and biomolecules. The book provides a critical overview on the necessity of process optimization case-by case that have limited the use of these dense gases in larger scale pharmaceutical or biomedical industrial production. Supercritical Fluids in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Technologies: From Controlled Drug Release Formulation to Tissue Engineering will appeal to graduate and postdoc level students and researchers primarily in chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, and chemical engineering. R&amp;D scientists at pharma and biotech companies and postdoc students studying advanced pharmaceutical technologies for drug delivery and tissue engineering, medical biomedical technology and bioengineering will also find the book useful for reference.

New, broadly applicable, parameter-free techniques for constructing stable quasiperiodic solutions of quasilinear evolution equations This monograph addresses an important problem in mathematical fluid dynamics: constructing stable, long-term solutions to certain quasilinear evolution equations. The authors implement an ingenious scheme for building global quasiperiodic solutions without relying on external parameters, instead exploiting the natural structure of initial data to generate families of stable solutions. This approach offers a more robust framework for studying global solutions of quasilinear PDEs. The book combines techniques from KAM theory, a Nash-Moser iteration scheme, and pseudodifferential calculus, and provides tools that extend beyond the specific SQG context and may prove useful for other evolution equations. Specifically, the authors establish the existence of quasiperiodic patch solutions for the generalized Surface Quasi-Geostrophic (SQG) equation across the parameter range $\alpha \in (1,2)$, in a neighborhood of the disk solution. These solutions exist globally in time without developing singularities, which sheds light on an important question about the behavior of geophysical fluid models. This work provides new insights into global dynamics in a mathematically challenging regime where standard perturbative methods are insufficient. And the techniques developed here offer potential applications to other evolution equations in mathematical physics, making this a valuable resource for researchers in partial differential equations, fluid dynamics, and related fields.
