Two‐phase finite element procedures for dynamic analysis of saturated porous media

Sun‐Hoon Kim, Kwang‐Jin Kim

A three‐dimensional dynamic analysis program for saturated porous‐rocks and soils (MPDAP‐3D) is developed in this study. The theoretical formulations incorporated in the proposed…

Using C++ templates to implement finite element classes

Marco L. Bittencourt

Presents the development of object‐oriented finite element classes based on the concept of parameterized types of templates of the C++ programming language. Two parameter array…

Natural convection flow from a vertical permeable flat plate with variable surface temperature and species concentration

S. Hussain, M.A. Hossain, M. Wilson

Concerns the laminar flows from a permeable heated surface which arise in fluids due to the interaction of the force of gravity and density differences caused by the simultaneous…

Finite element analyses and simulations in biomedicine: a bibliography (1985‐1999)

Jaroslav Mackerle

Gives a bibliographical review of the finite element methods (FEMs) applied in biomedicine from the theoretical as well as practical points of view. The bibliography at the end…

A stable algorithm for void growth and nucleation in transient, elasto‐plastic analysis of plate bending

P.M. McDermott, Y.W. Kwon

An algorithm for stable transient solutions was developed for a non‐linear constitutive model for void growth and nucleation with elasto‐plastic deformation of plate structures…

On volumetric locking of low‐order solid and solid‐shell elements for finite elastoviscoplastic deformations and selective reduced integration

Stefan Doll, Karl Schweizerhof, Ralf Hauptmann, Christof Freischläger

As known from nearly incompressible elasticity, selective reduced integration (SRI) is a simple and effective method of overcoming the volumetric locking problem in 2D and 3D…
