Abstract: The stability of numerical time integrators, and of the physical systems to which they are applied, are normally studied independently. This conceals a very interesting phenomenon, here termed inconsistent stability, wherein ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical method to investigate the effects of symmetric and asymmetric elastic supports on the nonlinear equilibria and buckling responses of shallow arches. It is found that arches with symmetric ...

Abstract: This contribution outlines a computational framework for the analysis of flexible multibody dynamics contact problems. The framework combines a flexible body formalism, specifically, the absolute nodal coordinate formulation ...
