Solution of coupled systems by distinct operators

Ioannis St Doltsinis

Addresses problems in mechanics and physics involving two or more coupled variables of different nature, or a number of distinct domains which interact. For these kinds of…

Optimum design of plate structures with frequency constraints

E. Salajegheh

Achieves efficient structural optimization of plate structures while the design constraints are multiple frequency constraints. Reduces the computational cost of optimization by…

A simple and efficient triangular finite element for plate bending

R.A.F. Martins, J. Sabino

Presents the formulation of a new triangular finite element for plate bending. The element has 15 degrees of freedom: six displacements at the corners and midside nodes and nine…

Numerical simulation of multi‐blow forging processes using the explicit time integration finite element method

Y.H. Yoo, D.Y. Yang, D.T. Chung

Describes simulations of impact forging processes. Uses the explicit time integration finite element method, which is based on direct time integration of equation of motion, to…

A three‐dimensional finite element analysis of hot extrusion through square dies: Automatic remeshing technique with modular concept

Y.S. Kang, D.Y. Yang

Applies an updated Lagrangian finite element analysis with automatic remeshing scheme to three‐dimensional hot extrusion through landless square dies. The remeshing procedure is…
