Uplifting and stability of wind‐loaded vertical cylindrical shells
F.G. Rammerstorfer, W. Auli, F.D. FischerThe present paper deals with the numerical calculation of the behaviour of vertical wind‐loaded cylindrical shells (large liquid storage tanks) with a very flexible bottom…
More efficient implicit box‐lambda scheme for non‐isentropic flows
Vinicio Magi, Gaetano VaccaA new implementation of the implicit lambda scheme recently proposed by other authors is provided. One‐dimensional compressible non‐isentropic flows inside four different…
Automatic generation of quadrilateral elements by a conformal mapping
Kenneth H. Baldwin, Howard L. SchreyerA finite element mesh generator is described based on a conformal mapping which requires little more than the definition of boundary geometry to generate a mesh. The…
TEQUEL: an engineering relational DBMS
S.D. RajanA relational database management system is presented that is tailored for engineering applications. A wide variety of engineering data types is supported and the data…
A command reader for interactive programming
Carlos A. FelippaA simplified command line reader suitable for building interactive programs based on Fortran 77 is presented. The reader is a 20:1 condensation of the comprehensive…
Shear‐constraints and folded‐plated structures
M.A. Crisfield‘Shear‐constraints’ can be used to produce efficient Mindlin/Reissner or ‘discrete Kirchhoff’ bending elements. The paper shows that ‘selective shear‐constraints’ can be…
Kinematics of small and large deformations of continua
Balkrishna S. Annigeri, Brice N. Cassenti, Anthony J. DennisThe kinematics of small and large deformations (displacements, rotations and strains) is described by use of the engineering strain, the logarithmic strain, the Seth‐Hill…
Simulating curved beams via offset straight elements
D.L. Hawla, H. NeishlosThe behaviour of curved beams may be simulated via the use of straight elements with constant offset. The theoretical basis for this approach is developed and numerical…
