A HIGHLY EFFICIENT ITERATIVE PARALLEL COMPUTATIONAL METHOD FOR FINITE ELEMENT SYSTEMS
K.P. WANG, J.C. JR. BRUCHA fully parallel algorithm for the solution of a finite element system using a MIMD (multiple‐instruction multiple‐data architecture) parallel computer is presented. The…
FINITE ELEMENT MODELLING OF THE TENSILE STRAIN SOFTENING BEHAVIOUR OF PLAIN CONCRETE STRUCTURES
SUDIP S. BHATTACHARJEE, PIERRE LÉGERThe localized strain softening behaviour of concrete has been modelled by two approaches: (i) the stiffness degrading model based on the total stress‐strain constitutive…
MIXED STRAIN ELEMENTS FOR NON‐LINEAR ANALYSIS
XIKUI LI, A.J.L. CROOK, L.P.R. LYONSThe mixed assumed strain approach proposed by Simo and Rifai is used to derive three 8‐noded hexahedral mixed strain elements. The approach is also generalized to…
NEW ERROR ESTIMATION FOR C° EIGENPROBLEMS IN FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
JACOB AVRASHI, ROBERT D. COOKThis paper presents a new approach for estimating the discretization error of finite element analysis of generalized eigenproblems. The method uses smoothed gradients at…
AN ALGORITHM FOR PROFILE AND WAVEFRONT REDUCTION OF SPARSE MATRICES WITH A SYMMETRIC STRUCTURE
S.R.P. MEDEIROS, P.M. PIMENTA, P. GOLDENBERGA new algorithm for reducing the profile and root‐mean‐square wavefront of sparse matrices with a symmetric structure is presented. Our numerical experiments show an…
AUTOMATING FINITE ELEMENT DEVELOPMENT USING OBJECT ORIENTED TECHNIQUES
BENNY RAPHAEL, C.S. KRISHNAMOORTHYAn object oriented finite element model is presented. The main advantage of this model over conventional systems is that, the additional code required for adding elements…
SOME STUDIES ON FREE VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF CYCLIC SYMMETRIC STRUCTURES USING SUBSPACE METHOD
P. BALASUBRAMANIAN, J.G. JAGADEESH, H.K. SUHAS, V. RAMAMURTIThe free vibration analysis of cyclic symmetric structures is considered as a Hermitian eigenvalue problem in semi‐complex domain using subspace iteration method is…
