Abstract

In this paper, an approach is proposed for taking calculations of high order differentials of scaling functions in wavelet theory in order to apply the wavelet Galerkin FEM to numerical analysis of those boundary-value problems with order higher than 2. After that, it is realized that the wavalet Galerkin FEM is used to solve mechanical problems such as bending of beams and plates. The numerical results show that this method has good precision.
