FINITE AND BOUNDARY ELEMENT METHODS IN BIOMECHANICS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY (1976–1991)

JAROSLAV MACKERLE

This bibliography is offered as a practical guide to published papers, conference proceedings papers and theses/dissertations on the finite element (FE) and boundary element (BE…

A MATERIAL‐INDEPENDENT METHOD FOR EXTENDING STRESS UPDATE ALGORITHMS FROM SMALL‐STRAIN PLASTICITY TO FINITE PLASTICITY WITH MULTIPLICATIVE KINEMATICS

A. CUITIÑO, M. ORTIZ

We provide a method for automatically extending small‐strain state‐update algorithms and their correspondent consistent tangents into the finite deformation range within the…

INSTABILITY OF A SHARP INTERFACE IN POLYMER FLOODING

C.J. VAN DUIJN, F.J.T. FLORIS

Non‐Newtonian fluids are used in current oil recovery processes. These fluids do not satisfy the linear Darcy law for flow through porous media. To model the recovery processes, a…

A MULTIGRID SOLUTION, BASED ON THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD, FOR THE NAVIER‐STOKES EQUATIONS

J.Y. XIA, C. TAYLOR

A multigrid algorithm, in conjunction with the finite element method, is proposed and applied to the Navier‐Stokes (N‐S) equations. A smoothing process is effected using a…

AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF BENDING ELEMENT MATRICES FOR FINITE ELEMENT METHOD USING REDUCE

CHRISTINE BARBIER

The formation of the well known element mass, geometric stiffness and stiffness matrices based on Hermite polynomials can be very easily automated using Computer Algebra systems…
