Numerical simulation of the mechanical behaviour of porous concrete
Chunqi Lian, Yan Zhuge, Simon BeechamPorous concrete is a mixture of open‐graded coarse aggregate, water and cement. It is also occasionally referred to as no‐fines concrete or pervious concrete. Due to its high…
Coupling of finite element and meshfree methods for locking‐free analysis of shear‐deformable beams and plates
Emre Erkmen, M.A. BradfordThe purpose of this paper is to develop a computational technique to couple finite element and meshfree methods for locking‐free analysis of shear deformable beams and plates, and…
SSHI methods for solving general linear matrix equations
Mehdi Dehghan, Masoud HajarianThe purpose of this paper is to find the efficient iterative methods for solving the general matrix equation A1X+ XA2+A3XH+XHA4=B (including Lyapunov and Sylvester matrix…
On accelerated symmetric stiffness techniques for non‐associated plasticity with application to soil problems
Xi Chen, Yong‐Gang ChengThe initial stiffness method has been extensively adopted for elasto‐plastic finite element analysis. The main problem associated with the initial stiffness method, however, is…
A scheduling methodology for dealing with uncertainty in construction projects
Maria Elena Bruni, Patrizia Beraldi, Francesca Guerriero, Erika PintoThe purpose of this paper is to address the problem of scheduling under uncertainty in construction projects. The existing methods for determining a project schedule are based on…
