Numerical modelling of glass forming processes
J.M.A. Cesar de SaApplication of the finite element method to the simulation of glass forming processes is described. The forming process results in a coupled thermal/mechanical problem with…
A four node Marguerre element for non‐linear shell analysis
Philippe Jetteur, François FreyA non‐linear shallow thin shell element is described. The element is a curved quadrilateral one with corner nodes only. At each node, six degrees of freedom (i.e. three…
A simple efficient algorithm for elasto‐plastic plate bending
Y.W. Kwon, J.E. AkinA simple efficient algorithm is presented for an elasto‐plastic analysis of plate bending problems. The element is a mixed isoparametric plate element which includes three moment…
Optimal pressure vessel shape design to maximize limit load
J. Middleton, J. PetruskaThe problem of optimal design of pressure vessel heads to maximize limit load behaviour is presented. Incremental elasto‐plastic analysis is used and a formulation based on the…
Colour graphics with three‐dimensional finite element meshes
J.F. StelzerThe application of colour for an improved presentation of 3‐D structures with finite elements is reported. Also shown is how the hidden‐surface technique can be used for: (1…
Modal superposition dynamic analysis on concurrent multiprocessors
Charbel Farhat, Edward WilsonComputational algorithms for finite element dynamic analysis of large‐scale structural problems that exploit both concurrent and parallel features of multiple instruction multiple…
A class of flux‐splitting explicit second‐order finite difference schemes and application to inviscid gas dynamic equations
G. BilletA class of flux‐splitting explicit second‐order finite difference schemes is set up. An ‘optimal’ scheme is defined for 1‐D flows and applied to 2‐D flows with CFL being able to…
Materially non‐linear analysis of body contact using a finite element method
Y.W. Kwon, J.E. AkinA new algorithm to solve contact body problems is presented. The contact boundaries are divided into finite elements, and contact element matrices and vectors are computed using a…
Structural analysis in quasi‐static elasto‐viscoplasticity
A. BenallalComplex constitutive equations including non‐linear kinematic as well as isotropic hardening rules are introduced in the framework of the finite element method to analyse the…
Computer analytics for thermalhydraulics
W.J. Garland, B. MollThe development of an interactive software tool, EQNWRITE, to help in the setup and manipulation of engineering mass, momentum and energy equations, is discussed. This software is…
A method for the simulation of plane or axisymmetric flows of incompressible fluids based on the concept of the stream function
J.R. Clermont, M.E. de la LandeA new numerical method is presented for the simulation of flows of incompressible fluids in plane or axisymmetric flows. Under certain assumptions, the physical domain can be…
NAFEMS publications
The National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards (NAFEMS), which is sponsored by the Department of Trade and Industry, UK, is rapidly establishing itself as a major…
