 These equations are solved in a two-dimensional invariant manifold in phase space.

+It turns out that the best way to solve these equations with finite elements is to define a pseudo-velocity $\vec{v}=[v, f_k]$ and to use a classical upwinding technique (Streamline Upwind Petrov-Galerkin formulation) to deal with the oscillations induced by the convective terms. The formulation reads : \\

+I also attempted to solve a 6-DOF system corresponding to a cantilever beam. This requires the solution of a system of 10 equations with 10 unknown fields.
+Although my code has been designed to allow the definition of an arbitrary number of unknown fields, I had never tried more than 2 or 3 fields coupled in one single formulation. The Jacobian matrix for the Newton-Raphson algorithm is written below; I wrote a Python script to define this formulation in my code avoiding copy-paste errors.
+To my own surprise, it worked, although efficiency issues allowed me to solve the system on a small domain only.
