Abstract: Alternative forms of the elastic-viscoelastic analogy for numerically obtained frequency response functions have been reported for solids of similarly and dissimilarly viscoelastic in bulk and shear ...

Abstract: Currently available finite element formulations to model dynamic responses of unbounded continua cannot accommodate the Sommerfeld radiation condition. Discrete numerical techniques explicitly rely ...

Abstract: Explicit algebraic expressions needed to compute element stiffness matrices using procedural (

Abstract: On arbitrary plane quadrilaterals, difficulties in integrating energy densities prevented analysts from directly using shape function expressions in terms of the physical coordinate variables (

Abstract: Engineering mechanics formulations of aerospace industry problems overwhelmingly rely upon spatial averaging techniques. Crucial applications in the area of dynamic response analysis and stochastic estimation of material ...

Abstract: During the 1970s, Wachspress developed shape functions for convex

Abstract: Monte Carlo simulation can be accelerated for material stochasticity when the samples are ordered according to their closeness in the constitutive moduli. Iteration on the previous solution is proposed with the samples ...

Abstract: Arbitrary shapes of engineering objects demand spatial discretization in design analysis. Therein, an accurate estimation of energy-like integrals, within each volume subset, becomes essential to formulate a variety of ...

Abstract: Flow acceleration by imposing flow channelization structures like chimneys and/or solid barriers to improve natural convection cooling in pure fluids, is a well-known technique and a thoroughly investigated topic in thermal ...
