Abstract: In this paper an implicit Newmark β-method with iterations for nonlinear structural dynamics is described; the algorithm is identical to standard algorithms except that a new convergence criterion ...

Abstract: Abrupt thermal fluxes on the first walls of fusion reactors represent a loading environment that requires advanced analytical capabilities. Solutions are needed to a wide range of postulated ...

Abstract: A quasi-Eulerian formulation is developed for fluid-structure interaction analysis in which the fluid nodes are allowed to move independent of the material thus facilitating the treatment of ...
