    Notes: An explicit expression for the stiffness matrix is worked out for a triangular plate bending element considering the effect of transverse shear deformation. The element has twelve nodes on the sides and four nodes internal to it. The formulation is displacement type and the use of area co-ordinates makes it possible to obtain the shape functions explicitly. Separate polynomials are assumed for transverse displacement and rotations. To obtain the element stiffness matrix no matrix inversion or numerical integration need be carried out and only a few matrix multiplications of low order are necessary. The element, which is initially of thirty five degrees of freedom, can be reduced to a thirty degrees of freedom one by condensation of the internal nodes. An interesting feature of the element developed is that the values of nodal moments computed at a node point, considering different elements surrounding the node, do not vary significantly. Thus the nodal moments can be obtained directly at node points. Also, the element does not give rise to any inconvenience like locking, even for very thin plates. The straightforward approach in formation of the element stiffness will cut down the storage space considerably and will also call for less CPU time, thus making the use of the element well suited to low capacity computers. A number of plate bending problems have been worked out using the present element for different thickness to side ratios and a comparison has been made with the available results. Good accuracy has been observed in all cases, even for a small number of elements.

    Notes: A computational study of the development of two- dimensional unsteady viscous incompressible flow around a circular cylinder and elliptic cylinders is undertaken at a Reynolds number of 10,000. A higher- order upwind scheme is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations by the finite difference method in order to study the onset of computed asymmetry around bluff bodies. For the computed cases the ellipses develop asymmetry much earlier than the circular cylinder. The receptivity of the computed flows in the presence of discrete roughness and surface vibration is studied. Finally, the role of discrete roughness in triggering asymmetry for flow past a circular cylinder is studied and compared with flow visualization experiments at Re=10,000

    Notes: A new formulation of an eighteen-degrees-of-freedom higher-order triangular plate bending element using triangular area co-ordinates is presented. The displacement function w is taken as the complete fifth-order polynomial in area co-ordinates. The normal slope along an edge of the triangle is constrained to vary cubically. The twenty-one constants are expressed explicity in terms of eighteen degrees of freedom. The element stiffness matrix is expressed as a product of component matrices for which explicit expressions are developed and presented. No numerical inversion or integration is necessary. The formulation is expected to be useful specially for microcomputers.

    Notes: A five-noded thirteen DOF horizontally curved beam element with or without an elastic base is presented. One set of fourth-degree Lagrangian polynomials in natural co-ordinates is used for interpolation of beam geometry and vertical displacement while the angles of transverse rotation and twist are interpolated by another set of third-degree polynomials. For elastic subgrade, the reactive forces offered at any point are assumed to be proportional to the corresponding displacements at that point. The effect of shear deformation is accounted for in the stiffness matrix. In mass matrix evaluation, for dynamic problems, translational as well as rotary intertias have been considered and studied separately. For numerical integration of the stiffness matrix, a four-point Gaussian scheme has been found to be adequate. Numerical results for a number of sample problems and their comparison with analytical solutions have been presented for circular as well as for non-circular curved beams. Displacements, bending moment and torque for static loading with or without elastic foundation, as well as natural frequencies and mode shapes are computed for different cases. Examples include the problem of a cantilever beam of spiral geometry with different parametric values of the spiral and the agreement with the analytical results establishes the efficacy of the element. The performance of the element has been found be be excellent in both static and dynamic conditions. Sufficient details are presented so that the formulation may be readily used. It is hoped that the large number of numerical illustrations will elucidate the validity and the range of applicability of the element and will also serve as benchmark for future researchers. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Plate-bending elements with the inclusion of transverse shear effects are important in analysing problems of transverse bending of relatively thick plates. Several such elements are available. Recently another element with a triangular geometry has been suggested. The construction of the element stiffness matrix follows conventional procedure which involves rigorous matrix computations. An alternative method of obtaining the stiffness matrix explicitly for such an element is suggested in the present work. Thus the process of matrix inversion and a considerable degree of matrix multiplications can be avoided in constructing the element stiffness matrix. Explicit expressions worked out may be conveniently used in microcomputers.

    Notes: Body conforming orthogonal grids were generated using a fast hyperbolic method for aerofoils, and were used to solve the Navier-Stokes equation in the generalized orthogonal system for the first time for time accurate simulation of incompressible flow. For grid generation, the Beltrami equation and the definition equation for the orthogonality are solved using a finite difference method. The grids generated around aerofoils by this method have better orthogonality than the results published by earlier investigators. The Navier-Stokes equation at Reynolds numbers of 3000 and 35 000 for NACA 0012 and NACA 0015 respectively, have been solved as an application. The obtained results match quite well with the corresponding experimental results. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
