Uplifting and stability of wind‐loaded vertical cylindrical shells

F.G. Rammerstorfer, W. Auli, F.D. Fischer

The 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 plate…

More efficient implicit box‐lambda scheme for non‐isentropic flows

Vinicio Magi, Gaetano Vacca

A new implementation of the implicit lambda scheme recently proposed by other authors is provided. One‐dimensional compressible non‐isentropic flows inside four different nozzles…

Automatic generation of quadrilateral elements by a conformal mapping

Kenneth H. Baldwin, Howard L. Schreyer

A 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 method is…

TEQUEL: an engineering relational DBMS

S.D. Rajan

A relational database management system is presented that is tailored for engineering applications. A wide variety of engineering data types is supported and the data definition…

A command reader for interactive programming

Carlos A. Felippa

A 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 command…

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 used to…

Kinematics of small and large deformations of continua

Balkrishna S. Annigeri, Brice N. Cassenti, Anthony J. Dennis

The kinematics of small and large deformations (displacements, rotations and strains) is described by use of the engineering strain, the logarithmic strain, the Seth‐Hill class of…

Simulating curved beams via offset straight elements

D.L. Hawla, H. Neishlos

The 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 examples…
