Interpolation method for preparation of input data of water depth in finite element analysis of shallow water flow

Kazuo Kashiyama, Mutsuto Kawahara

An interpolation is presented for preparation of input data of water depth in finite element analysis for shallow water problems. The algorithm, computer program for interpolation…

The analysis of the non‐linear and ultimate load behaviour of plated structures by the finite element method

H.R. Evans, D.O. Peksa, A.R. Taherian

The paper reviews the application of the finite element method to the analysis of large‐deflection elasto‐plastic behaviour and traces the development of such a solution for…

Model‐size reduction technique for the analysis of symmetric anisotropic structures

Ahmed K. Noor, Jeanne M. Peters

A two‐step computational procedure is presented for reducing the size of the analysis model for an anisotropic symmetric structure to that of the corresponding orthotropic…

A solution of structural random response applied to cylindrical shell in a turbulent flow

V. Kuželka

The paper deals with the basis of a method for numerical solution of structural vibration response to the effect of random fluid flow forces and describes its application to a…

Seismic response of liquid sloshing in the annular region formed by coaxial circular cylinders

K. Fujita, T. Ito, K. Okada

Although much research work has been performed on the liquid sloshing inside simple cylindrical vessels, this paper deals with the analysis of the liquid sloshing in the annular…

An analysis of the Semiloof shell element stiffness and mass matrices

C.A.M. Oliveira, R.A.F. Martins

The Semiloof shell element stiffness and mass matrices are analysed. Various integration rules for the stiffness matrix are used, and the influence of these rules on the existence…

A numerical method for the determination of the transient response of semiconductor devices

P.D. Griffin, J. Marques

In recent years, substantial research effort has been expended on the simulation of the behaviour of semiconductor devices. Since the internal behaviour of even the simplest…

An infinite element for analysis of transient fluid—structure interactions

Lorraine G. Olson, Klaus‐Jürgen Bathe

An infinite element based on the doubly asymptotic approximation (DAA) for use in finite element analysis of fluid—structure interactions is presented. Fluid finite elements model…

Computer simulation for stress—strain relation of cyclic loading

H. Ishikawa, H. Lippmann

The stress analysis of structures subjected to cyclic loading requires stress—strain relations simple enough to be usable efficiently in computer program and yet adequate to…

Stress analysis of pressure vessels and piping using the boundary integral equation method

M.J. Abdul‐Mihsein, A.A. Bakr, R.T. Fenner

The boundary integral equation (BIE) numerical technique is applied to several practical pressure vessels and piping problems. Axisymmetric and three‐dimensional formulations of…

Solution of linear equations by a profile solver

R.L. Taylor

The solution of linear algebraic equations using a profile solver is discussed and a set of subprograms written in FORTRAN 77 are presented which can be used to solve symmetric…
