Dynamic finite element analysis applied to a simple model exhibiting dynamic instability

K.L. Lim, M.A. Crisfield

The paper desribes an energy‐based framework for a simple modelwith two degrees‐of‐freedom that statically exhibitsbifurcations or limit‐points. Dynamically, the equivalent system…

Derivative recovery techniques for C° plate problems

Sang‐Ho Lee, Ted Blacker, Ted Belytschko

An enhanced L₂ projection method for recovering accuratederivatives such as moments, or shears, from finite element solutions forC° plates is presented. In the enhanced global and…

Parallel computation schemes for dynamic relaxation

B. H. V. Topping, A. I. Khan

This paper describes a parallel algorithm for the dynamic relaxation(DR) method. The basic theory of the dynamic relaxation is brieflyreviewed to prepare the reader for the…

A transputer routing algorithm for non‐linear or dynamic finite element analysis

A. I. Khan, B. H. V. Topping

This paper presents a routing method for two dimensional transputerarrays particularly designed for parallel non‐linear and dynamicfinite element analysis. Some general routing…

On the solution of the steady convection—diffusion equation using quadratic elements: a generalized galerkin technique also reliable with distorted meshes

Marcela B. Goldschmit, Eduardo N. Dvorkin

A generalized Galerkin technique originally developed by Donea,Belytschko and Smolinski for solving the steady convection—diffusionequation using elements with quadratic…
