Finite element modelling of ceramics and glass: A bibliography (1977‐1998)

Jaroslav Mackerle

This paper gives a bibliographical review of the finite element methods (FEMs) applied to the analysis of ceramics and glass materials. The bibliography at the end of the paper…

Neumann expansion for fuzzy finite element analysis

B. Lallemand, G. Plessis, T. Tison, P. Level

This paper presents a new framework to predict a structure’s effective properties and sensitivities to multiple simultaneous uncertain endogenous parameters. The methodology is…

Error estimation for plate structures: Application using the DKT element

C. Benoit, P. Coorevits, J.‐P. Pelle

A method for controlling the quality of finite element analyses for plate structures is proposed herein. It is based on the concept of error in the constitutive relation as well…

Algorithmic aspects of deformation dependent loads in non‐linear static finite element analysis

D.P. Mok, W.A. Wall, M. Bischoff, E. Ramm

The present study focusses on algorithmic aspects related to deformation dependent loads in non‐linear static finite element analysis. If the deformation dependency is considered…

New special finite elements for modeling reinforcement and steel‐concrete interface

Abdel‐Hakim A. Khalil, Tarek M. Fawzy, Salah El‐Din F. Taher, Galal A. Abdellah

In this paper, Isoparametric finite element formulations are derived for special elements for representing the steel‐concrete interface. Curved multi‐noded Isoparametric element…
