Abstract
Purpose
– Numerical solution of Plateau’s problem of minimal surface using non-variational finite element method. The paper aims to discuss this issue.
Design/methodology/approach
– An efficient algorithm is proposed for the computation of minimal surfaces and numerical results are presented.
Findings
– The solutions obtained here are examined for different cases of non-linearity and are found sufficiently accurate.
Originality/value
– The manuscript provide the non-variational solution for Plateau’s problem. Thus it has a good value in engineering application.
