A simple triangular curved shell element
H. Stolarski, T. Belytschko, N. Carpenter, J.M. KennedyA simple triangular shell element which incorporates the effects of coupling between membrane and flexural behaviour and avoids membrane locking is described. The element…
Pseudo 3‐D projections from isoparametric surfaces
D.J. ByrneGraphical representations play an integral part in the interpretation of the numerical data, resulting from finite element analysis techniques. An algorithm is presented…
A simple but effective method to produce colour FEM result presentations
J.F. StelzerToday, many computer screens offer colour. It is easy to take advantage of this when working with isoparametric elements. It is shown how to adjust suited colours to…
A Galerkin boundary element formulation with moving singularities
P.S. Han, Olson, R.L. JohnstonIn conventional boundary element formulations, the singularities of the fundamental solution are usually located on the problem boundary. This leads to difficulties in…
Sensitivity studies in reliability‐based plastic design
Dan M. FrangopolThe paper attempts to establish the connection between structural reliability and structural optimization for the particular case of plastic structures. Along this line…
Generalized time finite element algorithm for non‐linear dynamic problems
Jerzy Kujawski, Chandrakant S. DesaiA generalized time finite element method is considered for time integration of non‐linear equations of motion arising from dynamic problems. A simple three‐time level…
Selecting non‐linear optimization techniques for structural design
B.H.V. Topping, D.J. RobinsonThe use of three non‐linear mathematical programming techniques for the optimization of structural design problems is discussed. The methods — sequential linear…
Eulerian—Lagrangian solution of convection dominated diffusion problems
Vincenzo CasulliSome existing finite difference methods for the numerical solution of convection dominated diffusion equations are compared. Two semi‐implicit methods, Lagrangian based…
Linear elastic and non‐linear elastoplastic plate bending analysis using a mixed Galerkin finite element technique
Y.W. Kwon, J.E. AkinThe mixed finite element formulation using the Galerkin method is developed for the small deflection of a plate. This equation requires only linear shape functions to give…
An interactive contour plotting program
Michael F. YeoA very fast interactive contour plotting package is presented. Any finite element mesh is automatically converted into a contour plotting mesh composed of 3‐noded…
