Abstract: To overcome the shortcomings of traditional method for modeling pop action pressure relief valves (PAPRVs), a new method for modeling PAPRVs as a bistable element is proposed. The effects of the model’s main parameters ...

Abstract: This paper clarifies the reason why error occurs in the mass lumping procedure and presents a new approach to construct lumped mass matrices for Euler–Bernoulli beam elements, which contain both translational and rotational ...
