Abstract: Finite element idealization of thin‐walled structural members under combined flexural and torsional deformation, using the degeneration concept, is presented. The warping displacement field is discretized by an assembly ...

Abstract: The degeneration of two classes of deep beam elements is conducted, one (DB6) based on the conventional Timoshenko beam assumptions and the other (DB7) based on the assumed cubic order longitudinal displacement profile. ...

Abstract: Paper presents a point‐sink fundamental solution obtained by the Hankel‐Laplace transform technique. Based on this solution, an approximate solution scheme is developed for land‐subsidence simulation. The mathematical model ...

Abstract: Component-based software development has gained wide acceptance within the computer science discipline and the software development industry. Apparently, application of this concept has not been attempted for the development ...

Abstract: In performing numerical structural analysis, computers are adept at “crunching” numbers but require close guidance from human users. Oftentimes, judgment and experience of seasoned users are necessary to obtain accurate ...

Abstract: A finite-element formulation for the large displacement analysis of beams is proposed. It is based on the degeneration approach: The governing equations for a general solid are directly discretized. The assumptions of the ...
