An iterative (k‐L)‐predictor/ε‐corrector algorithm for solving (k‐ε) turbulent models

Marcela B. Goldschmit, Miguel A. Cavaliere

The finite element solution of turbulent flows using a (k‐ε) turbulence model usually presents severe numerical difficulties. Develops an iterative (k‐L)‐predictor/ε‐corrector…

Dynamic simulation of multibody systems including planar elastic beams using Autolev

M. Botz, P. Hagedorn

A number of computer codes are available for the automatic generation of the equations of motion of multibody systems formed by rigid bodies. Systems containing deformable…

Dynamic stability of a rotating cantilever beam with in‐plane base acceleration

H.P. Lee

Derives the equation of motion in matrix form of a rotating cantilever beam with constant in‐plane base acceleration based on Hamilton’s principle and the assumed mode method…
