EIGENVALUES OF ELEMENT STIFFNESS MATRICES. PART I: 2‐D PLANE ELEMENTS
D.J. KIDGER, I.M. SMITHThe eigenvalues of element stiffness matrices K and the eigenvalues of the generalized problem Kx = λMx, where M is the element's mass matrix, are of fundamental…
EIGENVALUES OF ELEMENT STIFFNESS MATRICES. PART II: 3‐D SOLID ELEMENTS
D.J. KIDGER, I.M. SMITHIn Part I, eigenvalues and eigenmodes of typical plane element stiffness matrices were separated and traced. This has important implications for the viability of new…
PREDICTION OF THE FAILURE AND SIZE EFFECT IN CONCRETE VIA A BI‐SCALE DAMAGE APPROACH
C. SAOURIDIS, J. MAZARSSimple but also accurate models are needed to predict the failure response of concrete structures. Simplicity involves modelling assumptions while accuracy involves…
A FINITE ELEMENT TECHNIQUE FOR THE ULTIMATE STRENGTH ANALYSIS OF TUBULAR JOINTS
WILLIAM F. COFER, KENNETH M. WILLOffshore structures are generally constructed as frameworks of tubular members. The tubular joints should be designed to allow the full post yield or post buckled capacity…
A GENERALIZED CLOSEST‐POINT‐PROJECTION METHOD FOR DEFORMATION‐NEUTRALIZED FORMULATION IN FINITE STRAIN PLASTICITY
M.J. SARAN, K. RUNESSONAn implicit type algorithm for the integration of hypoelastic constitutive equations is proposed for large strain and large rotation conditions. Constitutive relations are…
A DECOUPLED FINITE ELEMENT METHOD TO COMPUTE STATIONARY UPPER‐CONVECTED MAXWELL FLUID FLOW IN 2‐D CONVERGENT GEOMETRY
H. MADERS, Y. DEMAY, J.F. AGASSANTIn this study, the stationary flow of a polymeric fluid governed by the upper convected Maxwell law is computed in a 2‐D convergent geometry. A finite element method is…
EFFICIENT SOLUTION PROCEDURES FOR SYSTEMS WITH LOCAL NON‐LINEARITIES
ADNAN IBRAHIMBEGOVI&Cacute, EDWARD L. WILSONThis paper presents several methods for enhancing computational efficiency in both static and dynamic analysis of structural systems with localized non‐linear behaviour. A…
