Exact prescribed displacement field solutions in Mohr Coulomb elastoplasticity

Pankaj, Khalid Moin

Exact solutions for Mohr Coulomb elastoplasticity are developed. Using these solutions an exact stress increment for a given finite strain increment can be computed. The developed…

A modular approach to structure assembly computations: application to contact problems

C. Blanze, L. Champaney, J.‐Y. Cognard, P. Ladevèze

Presents a modular method for obtaining either a quick or a precise calculation for three‐dimensional structure assemblies with local non‐linearities, such as unilateral contact…

Implementing finite element methods on supercomputers, workstations and PCs: a bibliography (1985‐1995)

Jaroslav Mackerle

Presents a review on implementing finite element methods on supercomputers, workstations and PCs and gives main trends in hardware and software developments. An appendix included…

Optimal topologies of structures: homogenization, pseudo‐elastic approximation and the bubble‐method

Georg Thierauf

Presents a pseudo‐elastic approach to topological optimization. In comparison with the well‐known homogenization method for topological optimization it is not based on a…

Consistent gradient formulation for a stable enhanced strain method for large deformations

Joze Korelc, Peter Wriggers

Considers the problem of stability of the enhanced strain elements in the presence of large deformations. The standard orthogonality condition between the enhanced strains and…
