Abstract: A simple procedure for estimating the uncertainty of estimates of true solutions to problems of deflection, stress concentrations, and force resultants in solid and structural mechanics is introduced. Richardson extrapolation ...

Abstract: This work presents an efficient way to calculate the added mass matrix, which allows solving for natural frequencies and modes of solids vibrating in an inviscid and infinite fluid. The finite element method (FEM) is used ...

Abstract: Recent military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have resulted in an increase in the number of blast related traumatic brain injuries (blast-TBI). It is assumed that the primary mechanism for ...
