    Notes: A Finite Element Method using rectangular elements is applied to solve Burgers' non-linear equation in one space dimension. The non-linear algebraic equations thus obtained are solved by an iteration which is equivalent to the generalized Newton method. Numerical experiments indicate that the order of accuracy is equal to 2. In two space dimensions, the method is more efficient than other methods we have tested.

    Notes: A global variational method (GVM) not requiring the boundary conditions to be incorporated in the trial functions is described. The method is outlined for a linear differential equation and the extensions necessary to handle the non-linear problem of the indirect design of a compressible fluid channel described. The method requires a suitable estimate of a parameter, but the results obtained for the non-linear problem indicate that the actual value of this parameter is not critical (provided that a sufficeintly large number of trial functions is used). Comparisons are made with the results from an alternative GVM approach described in Davies and Hendry.1

    Notes: It is sometimes convenient to express a numerical algorithm in terms of a network model. The physical picture given can often help the engineer to visualize the properties of the method. In field problems, a lumped network model corresponds to a space discrete field while a transmission-line model corresponds to a field which is discrete in space and time. In this paper, the relationship is given between the lumped network models and transmission-line network models used in the steady-state solution of Maxwell's equations in two and three space dimensions. The use of dual networks is also discussed. An analysis is given for the velocity of waves travelling in any direction across the networks and this is used to compare the accuracy of the models. The use of diakoptics or substructures for the solution of large networks is outlined and this is illustrated by a compound two-dimensional example.

    Notes: This paper presents a general procedure for calculating the buckling of stiffened skew plates by the Rayleigh-Ritz method with B-spline functions as co-ordinate functions.Convergence of the solutions is investigated in a few typical cases and is found satisfactory. The results are compared with existing values based on other numerical methods and found to be in good agreement. Buckling characteristics of stiffened skew plates are also studies with varying stiffness parameters of stiffeners, skew angles and aspect ratios.

    Notes: This paper describes the essential features of the program package MAGGY2. With MAGGY2, magnetostatic problems in two dimensions can be analysed. The co-ordinate system may be Cartesian, cylindrical or polar. A finite element method with bilinear isoparametric quadrilaterals is used. Input must be given in the problem-oriented language MAGLAN. This language is based on the idea that a user of MAGGY2 wants to describe his problem rather than give commands for its solution. The algorithm and the problem-oriented language are described. Some examples showing the use of the package are given.

    Notes: Upwind and central difference schemes for laminar and turbulent flows over a step in a two-dimensional channel are compared with each other and with experiment. Vorticity ω and stream function ψ are used as dependent variables and it is shown that an upwind difference method can give predictions which agree with experiment for high Reynolds number flows. The numerical implementation of the boundary conditions is found critically to determine the solutions obtained. Explicit prescription of ψ and ω at the inlet leads to incorrect values of the inlet velocity component perpendicular to the flow and a solution that does not agree with experiment. Experimental evidence is not available at low Reynolds numbers, but it is found that upwind differences give recirculation zones 8 per cent shorter and 8 per cent less intense than the more conventional conditionally stable central difference method.The distribution of the false diffusion effect in the upwind scheme is considered, and it is shown by use of a simple example that previous statements as to possible minimization of this effect are not generally true.The difficulty of determining the pressure distribution from the vorticity and stream function model is analysed and illustrated.Further, turbulent separated flows are seen to contain regions where two-dimensional time-dependent flow does not exist, and conventional theories do not give good results.

    Notes: A unified approach is presented for the static and transient dynamic linear and geometrically nonlinear analysis of Mindlin plates including initial imperfections. The effects of transverse shear deformation and rotatory inertia are automatically taken into account. A finite element idealization is adopted and the quadratic Lagrangian Mindlin plate element is used together with selective integration. Several numerical examples are presented and compared with results from other sources.

    Notes: Several computer codes have incorporated the ‘overlay’ material models: the volume element, which is characteristic of the material, is composed of sub-elements with different kinematic hardening, perfectly plastic or even viscoplastic flow rules and different elastic properties, these sub-elements exhibiting all, however, the same total strain.1,2In this paper it is demonstrated how the simple mathematical framework we first proposed for elastic-plastic structures with kinematic hardening material,3 and we extended to some elastic viscoplastic ones,4 can easily be applied to these particular ‘overlay’ materials.One of the interesting advantages of this approach is a straightforward analysis of structural response under cyclic loadings by applying the linear elastic analysis.

    Notes: A numerical method able to evaluate the response of harbours of constant depth to periodic plane waves in the presence headlands of breakwaters near the harbour mouth is described and tested on a particular case.The method, based on Green's function theory, is rather general, and can also treat the response of an off-shore harbour, as well as the diffraction field due to only breakwaters or headlands, when the interaction with the coastline must be taken into account.

    Notes: A method for calculating natural frequencies and mode shapes of large structural systems with substructures and the subspace iteration is developed. The method uses only substructural stiffness matrices and the mass matrix for each finite element of the system. The mass matrix for the entire structure or any of its substructures need not be computed. However, efficiency of the method is improved when mass matrix for the entire structure is computed and saved in the computer core. No approximating assumptions are made. Thus, natural frequencies and mode shapes for the finite element model employed are the same with or without the substructuring algorithm. This is demonstrated by computing first ten natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes for an open truss helicopter tail-boom structure.

    Notes: A simple, efficient finite element method has been presented for the solution of a variety of scalar field problems in two dimensions. It is based on the mapping of the physical problem domain into an ‘image’ domain in the w-plane. The governing equation(s) and the boundary conditions in the physical plane are also appropriately transformed into the w-plane. The processes of standard finite element analysis are then implemented to obtain a solution in the w-plane.The method has been explained in detail, with illustrative examples where appropriate; it has several important advantages over the standard finite element method, particularly for the solution of infinite or semi-infinite domain problems. The method has been demonstrated to be simple, efficient, economical and potentially capable of dealing with a large repartoire of two-dimensional problems, including non-homogeneity, nonlinearity, etc.

    Notes: An iterative algorithm is presented: it builds a continuous stress and displacement solution starting from the solution of a classical displacement finite element analysis. The modified solution satisfies the virtual work principle, and is much better than the starting solution. The algorithm is very easily included in existing programs. A number of examples shows the efficiency of the method.

    Notes: In the stressed-skin analysis of metal structures it is vital to have a simple yet accurate treatment of the shear deformation of profiled metal sheeting. A suitable theory is developed in this paper for the two important cases of sheeting fastened to the supporting structure through every and alternate troughs of the corrugations. Various practical factors are taken into account. The results of an extensive series of numerical investigations are presented as a simple equation and a set of tables.

    Notes: Both the central and upwind difference schemes are commonaly employed to solve the Navier-Stokes equations governing the two-dimensional laminar flow of an incompressible laminar flow of an incompressible viscous fluid. By a judicious choice of a damping parameter and using direct methods for solving the systems of linear equations appearing in an iterative procedure, the central difference scheme could be made to give convergent results even for large Reynolds numbers. Using a model problem of flow through a driven square cavity it is shown that the converged results so obtained become progressively oscillatory and inaccurate as the Reynolds number increases. It is known that the central difference scheme gives more accurate results than the upwind difference scheme, at least for small values of Reynolds number. However, for a reasonably small mesh size the numerical solutions obtained by using either the central or the upwind difference scheme do not differ appreciably at low Reynolds numbers. There is a small range of Reynolds numbers for which the central difference scheme may yield more accurate results than the upwind difference scheme; however, this range is not known a priori.

    Notes: Numerical solutions for two-dimensional or axisymmetric viscous fluid flow problems are usually based on the stream function/vorticity formulation. Frequently, however, the pressure distribution is of prime interest. Difficulties have been reported in the literature with the use of obvious pressure marching schemes. Consequently, several investigators have preferred to use an iterative method which involves solving a Poisson equation with Neumann boundary conditions. In this paper, the fundamental cause of failure of the marching schemes is investigated. The authors introduce the concept of compatible pressure and vorticity schemes and show that lack of compatibility has been the principal reason for the poor results obtained using marching schemes. Compatible pressure marching methods are developed and shown to give good results. Comparisons are made between the Poisson equation method and the compatible marching method. To make the comparisons meaningful, special test cases with analytical solutions have been used.

    Notes: The procedures for utilizing substructuring and static condensation in structural analysis are well known. However, until recently there have been no general-purpose structural mechanics computer systems that offer multi-level substructuring combined with a convenient method for defining the structural model. Now that such systems are available, engineers must decide when substructuring techniques are useful. Substructuring, with and without condensation, has proved to be highly efficient in the analysis of certain classes of structure. It can reduce computer costs by a factor of from 2 to 100. Yet, indiscriminate use of condensation may result in unnecessary and expensive computations. This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of substructuring relative to data entry and computational efficiency. Guidelines are proposed for engineers to follow when using substructuring in the analysis of linear and nonlinear structures. The FINITE system is used to illustrate actual implementation of substructuring features in a general purpose finite element system.

    Notes: A modification (Irons;6 Concus et al. 1) to the conjugate gradient (CG) method by Hestenes and Stiefel5 has recently renewed the interest in this elegant technique which appears to be extraordinarily promising for large sparse systems Ax = b, where A is a symmetric positive definite matrix. A good approximation K-1 for the inverse of A is needed in the modified algorithm. For finite difference sets of equations, Meijerink and van der Vorst9 and Kershaw7 have experienced a very fast convergence with a matrix K-1 determined by the incomplete Cholesky decomposition of A.A further acceleration of the iteration may be achieved by preliminarily processing the initial guessed solution by the Newton iterative scheme before using the modified conjugate gradient (MCG) method. The initial Newton iterations (NI) have the useful property of significantly reducing the components of the residual r0 along the eigenvectors of AK-1 associated with the eigenvalues lying in the vicinity of 1. The latter are expected to include the vast majority of the eigenvalues of AK-1. As a result the MCG method is left with a smaller number of r0 components to set to zero in a reduced dimensional eigenvector space and hence the solution is arrived at in fewer iterations. Depending on the desired final accuracy, up to 50 per cent of the MCG iterations may be equivalently replaced by an equal number of NI which are computationally faster.This approach has been applied to the solution of finite element sets of linear equations arising from the arbitrarily irregular triangle discretization of groundwater flow domains in both steady and unsteady conditions. For diagonally dominant matrices the results emphasize the excellent performance of the MCG method which proved much faster than the first-degree Chebyshev iteration (CHI) and required a number of iterations an order of magnitude smaller than the successive over-relaxation technique (SOR) with optimum over-relaxation factor.

    Notes: This paper presents isoparametric finite element formulation for special classes of elements referred to as ‘transition elements’ for axisymmetric stress analysis. The transition elements are necessary for applications requiring the use of both axisymmetric solids and axisymmetric shells. These elements permit transition from the axisymmetric solid portion of the structure to the axisymmetric shell portion. The element properties are derived and presented in detail. Numerical examples are also presented to demonstrate the accuracy and applications of such elements.

    Notes: Hybrid elements for the representation of elastic media are based upon extended variational principle. In the discretization process the hybrid deformation model requires an expansion of the displacement field as well as of the Lagrange multipliers at the boundary. Using an extension of the common shape function concept, these hybrid elements can be reduced to the basis of the simple minimum principle of potential energy with only one expansion of the displacements. An application to plate elements is given and a discussion about some consequences of the approach.

    Notes: The paper presents a classification of mathematical commonly encountered in connection with solution of non-linear finite element problems. The principal methods for numerical solution of the non-linear equations are surveyed and discussed. Special emphasis is placed upon the description of an automatic load incrementation procedure with equilibrium iterations. It is shown how this algorithm can be adapted for solving problems involving instabilities, snap-through and snap-back. A simple scalar quantity denoted the current stiffness parameter is suggested; this parameter is used to characterize the overall behaviour of non-linear problems. It can also be used as a steering parameter in the solution process. The use of the present technique is illustrated by several examples.

    Notes: A new and efficient method of dynamic condensation is presented. It reduces the order of dynamic matrices without intoroducing further approximation by representing the passive co-ordinates in terms of the active ones exactly. The resulting frequency dependent eigenvalue problem is solved by a combined technique of Sturm sequence and subspace iteration. Examples are given for a space frame and a substructure problem. Results are compared to the complete solution.

    Notes: A new approach to the generation of near-optimum finite element meshes is presented. Like other current methods, the procedure presented uses the results of a previous analysis to improve the idealization, but unlike other procedures a new element mesh is generated in each cycle with the aid of interactive computer graphics. The procedure generates near-optimum two-dimensional meshes on one cycle employing a grid optimization criterion based on variations in the strain energy density and using a software system which operates like an interactive finite element preprocessor. The example problems presented demonstrate the efficiency and flexibility of the approach.

    Notes: A detailed study is made of the error growth associated with explicit difference schemes for a conduction-convection problem. It is shown that the error can become arbitrarily large after a finite number of time steps even though it ultimately decays to zero. Certain ambiguities reported in the literature can thereby be resolved.

    Notes: An analysis procedure for the plane strain contained plastic deformation problem is proposed. It is shown that, when piecewise-linear elastic-plastic laws are adopted, the plane strain problem can be formulated in terms of exactly the same variables appearing in a plane stress problem, even if the transverse stress and plastic strain components do not vanish in general. The two problems are governed by the same equilibrium and compatibility equations and the only difference is in the elastic-plastic material constitutive laws, in complete analogy with the linear elastic case.The problem is discretized by using a compatible finite element model on which basic elastic-plastic constitutive laws for an element in plane strain conditions can be obtained. When the assemblage is performed, the resulting set of governing relations presents a mathematical structure which enable, for solution, techniques efficiently used for truss and frame problems. Some solutions for axisymmetric tubes subjected to pressure and temperature gradients are illustrated.

    Notes: A numerical scheme is developed to simulate the non-isothermal steady-state behaviour of a MOS field effect transistor. In a desire to develop a fast, stable numerical scheme, physical instabilities were eliminated by using a simplified device model. The numerical technique developed permits a computer solution of the majority carrier transport equation, the nonlinear heat conduction equation, in which the heat generation term is obtained from the solution of the transport equation, and a number of auxiliary differential equations.The simplified model of the MOS transistor adopted will not, of course, produce any information on the actual operation of the short channel MOS transistor of practical interest today, but the numerical scheme can be extended to simulate short channel models that are of great practical interest.

    Notes: A nonlinear analysis is carried out for the motion of the inviscid, incompressible fluid in a two-dimensional, rigid, open container which is subjected to forced sinusoidal pitching oscillation. Firstly, the problem is defined as a nonlinear initial-boundary value problem by the use of a governing differential equation and boundary conditions. Next, the problem is formulated in the form of a pseudo-variational principle, which provides a basis for our discretization. The finite element method and finite difference method are used spacewise and timewise, respectively. Due to the strong nonlinearity of the problem, an incremental method is used for the numerical analysis. Numerical results obtained by the present method are compared with solutions of the linear theory and experimental data. The difference between linear and nonlinear analysis has been clearly indicated.

    Notes: A common method for numerically approximating two-point parabolic boundary value problems of the form ut = L[u]+f(u) defined of the semi-infinite strip S = [0, 1]×[0, ∞] is to first discretize the spatial operator in the differential equation and then solve for the time evolution. Such an approach typically involves solving a system of algebriaic equations at a sequence of time steps. In this paper we take a different approach and subdivide S into a collection of semi-infinite substrips Si = [xi, xi+1]×[0, ∞], and use blending function techniques to derive finite parameter functions ei(x, t) defined on Si. Spectral matching methods are used in deriving ei to ensure that (u - ei) can be made small on Si. Galerkin's method, with associated integration sover the entire space-time domain S, is then used to generate approximations to u(x, t) based upon the so defined infinite element (ei, Si). Approximations are hence found for all (x, t) in S by solving one well structed system of algebraic equations. We apply the method to several linear and non-linear problms.

    Notes: In this paper a technique previously developed for the analysis of rigid-plastic structural frames is adapted to provide a formal procedure for finding the limit load of any structure formed from rigid blocks. In this procedure the load factor is maximized subject to the euilibrium equations of the structure and linear constraints imposed by criteria of failure at the block interfaces.In part I of the paper it is assumed that the limiting shear force associated with sliding at a block interface is independent of the normal component of force across the interface. This assumption means that the normality rule is satisfied, so that the upper- and lower-bound theorems of classical limit analysis apply. This part includes a description of computer program for the collapse analysis of masonry arches with joints incapable of carrying tension.In part II the limit on the Shear force at a block interface is assumed to be that associated with Coulomb friction. It is not difficult to extend the computational algorithm described in part I to deal with this situation. However, the failure mechanism computed by the algorithm will not necessarily satisfy the normality rule. The corresponding limit load may therefore be an over-estimate of the true failure load, even though it is computed by a lower-bound (equilibrium) approach. A criterion is established for testing the validity of a failure load computed in these circumstances.

    Notes: Geometric programming is a powerful technique and its application to mechanism synthesis has not been fully explored. In this paper, slider-crank mechanism is chosen since the objective function consists of a large number of terms while there are only two design variables. Thus the degree of difficulty is more and does not lend itself to easy application of the geometric programming. Here, modification of the objective function is suggested so that the degree of difficulty reduces to zero even when the working space constraint is imposed. This results in a near optimum solution. Application of signomial geometric programming is illustrated through a numerical example.

    Notes: A general analytical and numerical procedure, based on the linear theory, is outlined for the elastic stress and deflection analysis of complex shells of revolution with arbitrary stiffness and density distributions, under arbitrary static and dynamic loads. The equations of motion admit shear deformation and rotary inertia. A numerical solution is obtained by recourse to Fourier expansion for the circumferential direction, to finite differences for the meridonial direction, and to Houbolt's method for the time domain. Numerical results are presented.

    Notes: The paper presents an introduction to two general approaches used in the soluation of coupled structures and fluid systems in which effects of large scale flow are excluded. In the first approach, the Lagrangian, the fluid is simply treated as a ‘solid’ with a negligible shear modulus. In the second method, Eulerian, a single pressure variable is used in the fluid.The numerical problems posed, discretization methods used and possible simplifications are discussed.

    Notes: The fluid forces acting on a uniform cylinder with an infinitely long axis, heaving in the free surface or an infinite ideal fluid, are described in terms of its ‘added mass’ and ‘damping coefficient’. The techniques of multipole expansion and multiparameter conformal transformation are adopted for such calculations and applied to shapes which cannot be adequately represented by the conventional, and more rudimentary, ‘Lewis form fit’. The shapes referred to are both relevant to ship bows, one being a ‘fine section’ and the other a ‘bulbous section’. The parameters which influence the accuracy of the solution are examined. Results for these two sections are computed and compared with results based on (a) the ‘Lewis form approximation’ and (b) the ‘Frank's close fit method’ which employs a singularity representation.

    Notes: The hydrodynamic mass matrix for a vibrating ship is evaluated using a three-dimensional finite element discretization of the surrounding water. For the important case of vertical vibrations of the ship, values of the added masses obtained in this way are compared with those given by the conventional semi-empirical formulas currently in use in the shipbuilding industry. A numerical example is presented. It is concluded that conventional two-dimensional methods, the usefulness of which is confirmed when the first few modes of the hull girder only are sought, do not apply to higher modes, for which significant deformation of the cross-section may occur. On the other hand, a finite element approach has the advantage of its generality as well as flexibility. Suggestions for future research are given.

    Notes: A computer program, originally developed to predict wave loads on large-diameter fixed offshore structures, has been modified to compute added masses, damping coefficients and response motions of free-floating and moored rigid systems. It is now being extended to predict multi-degree-of-freedom responses of articulated structures, particularly wave energy absorbing devices. The structure is modelled by surface singularities (point sources) in potential flow. The boundary conditions, fluid and structure equations of motion are linearized. Engineering applications here include the predictions, fluid and structure equations of motion are linearized. Engineering applications here include the prediction of wave loads on a gravity platform, response motions of a moored barge, and comparisons with laboratory data on the mooring loads and response of a tethered buoyant platform, and on the wave loading, response and efficiency of two wave energy absorbing devices.

    Notes: This paper is concerned with the development of transfer functions for the dynamic response of multidegree-of-freedom offshore structures, excited by sinusoidal waves. The problem is formulated in terms of the principal modes of the structure vibrating freely in vacuo. The hydrodynamic analysis is performed through use of a distribution of wave sources on the submerged surface of the structure, which leads to an approximate solution satisfying the boundary condition on the fluid-structure interface at a discrete set of points. Generalized forces are obtained corresponding both to excitation by waves and to the hydrodynamic reactions induced by motions of the structure: the latter are expressed in terms of added mass and damping matrices. Results are given for simple geometries to illustrate the approach.

    Notes: A method of fluid-structure connection is presented for solutions which mainly involve the calculation of the dynamic response of structures by using the method of modal analysis. This connection method is based upon finite element structural and fluid representation and is efficiently employed when used with the inverse iteration procedure for eigenvalue, eigenvector evaluation. The inverse iteration procedure is described in conjunction with the connection method. Also a method of non-linear structural analysis and a method of frequency domain analysis are discussed with reference to the presented fluid-structure connection procedure.Applications are considered for both model and prototype situations. Efficient use of the mini computer for solving dynamic problems by the proposed method is also considered.

    Notes: This paper presents a numerical technique for the linear dynamic analysis of a finite elastic structure immersed in an infinite homogeneous acoustic medium. It is required to determine the vibrational motion of the structure and also the associated acoustic field in the fluid, when the structure is either subjected to internal applied forces or is acting as a scatterer of an incident acoustic wave. A finite element analysis of the structure is matched at the structure-fluid interface with an integral equation representation of the exterior acoustic field, leading to a coupled system of equations which may be cast in either acoustic or structural from. The former approach is preferred here for which numerical results are presented when the method is applied to plane wave scattering by thick and thin elastic spherical shells.

    Notes: A finite element method is presented for predicting the coupled structural-acoustic response of a flexible cylinder, which contains an acoustic medium and is excited by mechanical forces. The cylinder is represented by an existing axisymmetric, cylindrical shell element. The acoustic space inside the cylinder is modelled using a new axisymmetric, acoustic ring element. The cross-secton of the ring takes the form of an eight node, isoparametric element. The coupled equations of motion for the cylinder and acoustic field are solved using modal analysis techniques. The numerical results obtained are compared with results from an experimental investigation which is also described.

    Notes: A variational principle in terms of displacements in the fluid and the structure with a penalty for irrotationality of displacement in the fluid is developed for the analysis of harmonic vibrations of ideal compressible fluid and elastic structure systems. Its Discretization by the finite element method leads to an algebraic eigenvalue problem with a positive definite symmetric banded matrix. Numerical examples obtained for pure acoustic cases and coupled cases show the efficiency of the method.

    Notes: A theory is developed whereby acoustic and structural modes are coupled by means of geometrical distortions in a circular cylindrical shell filled with liqued.The prediction is that a circularly symmetric discrete frequency acoustic wave in the liquid will excite in the shell not only a circular symmetric ‘breathing mode’ (which would be the only one present in an undistorted shell) but also short wavelength flexural waves at the excitation frequency. It is possible, even for quite small distortions, for the displacement amplitude of some of these flexural waves to exceed that of the ‘breathing mode’.The results of calculations for a particular shell are shown to be consistent with experimental results.

    Notes: The seismic behaviour of an offshore pipeline, which may be totally or partially in contact with the sea-bed, is characterized by the confluence of structural dynamics, hydrodynamics and soil mechanics and also the possible dynamic interactions between these aspects. This paper contains a study dealing with the seismic response analysis of such a pipeline including pressure drag effects. A numerical analysis basesd on the assumption that the pipe behaves linearly elastically and that pipe deffection is elastoplastically related, without loss, to sea-bed resistance shows that pipe response in significantly attenuated by contact, as aspected, the amount of attenuation depending upon contact length and the parameters defining idealized sea-bed behaviour.

    Notes: Prestressed concrete members, because of the use of high strength materials and the efficient disposition of tensile forces, need considerably less material. This and other advantages, however, are offset by the high unit costs of materials and the associated specialized labour. Thus, it is important to make the most of the savings in materials through the application of optimum design procedure. Among the available optimization techniques, generalized geometric progamming (GGP) is ideally suited because the design equations of prestressed concrete members are expressible in the form of polynomials. Using the GGP, in this study, a set of minimum prestress force designs are obtained for various depths of one-way slab. From the data thus obtained a minimum cost design procedure is explained. Moreover, the need for supplementary non-prestressed reinforcement to obtain economical designs for depths of slab beyond a certain depth is also shown.

    Notes: This paper treats shape optimal design of two-dimensional structures. Sensitivity of cost and constraint functions to changes in the shape of the structure are obtained by applying theorems from the calculus of variations and by using consistent first-order approximations of functions arising in an optimal design problem. A generalized steepest descent algorithm is presented for determination of the optimum shape. The method is applied to a load carrying shear plate that models a component of the high pressure seal in a gun launched high velocity projectile.

    Notes: Derivation of an optimality criterion for finite element structural representations using constant-moment plate-bending triangular elements ispresented. Numerical examples of minimum-mass design of both simply-supported and clamped elastic plates for concentrated and distributed loading conditions under a single displacement constraint serve to illustrate the suggested procedure. Interpretation of the solution obtained and difficulties involved are discussed in the light of recent application of optimal control theory to structural optimization.

    Notes: A Finite Element formulation for the axisymmetrical analysis of rotational shells with geometric non-linearity is developed, using a mixed finite element model of a curved rotational shell type, the two global components of displacement (ur, uz) and the two stress couples (Mr, MtH) being the free and independent unknowns of the problem. The prescribed geometry at every nodal circle comprises the co-ordinates and meridional slope angle and curvature. Newton-Raphson Iteration is used in solving the non-linear system of equations. Circular plates and a spherical cap are used as examples to test the formulation; good results were achieved which are presented graphically in comparison to the analytical solution.

    Notes: Shape functions are given for a six node triangular element in which the √r displacement filed varies quadratically in the circumferential direction. Using a convenient co-ordinate system the stiffness development is sketched and the integrations re done exactly in the radial co-ordinate direction. Brief numerical results are presented. Shape functions for a 15 node three-dimensional element are given explicitly. The shape functions provide both constant strain capability and conformability with quadratic isoparametric elements.

    Notes: Numerical analysis of tsunamis applying the finite element method is presented based on the shallow water wave equation. To discretize time, a two step explicit method is used. The scheme is the extension of the Lax-Wendroff finite difference method. The present finite element method is used for the analysis of the Tokachi-oki Earthquake tsunami problem and compared with the tide gauge records. The conclusion of this paper is that the present method is suitable for the prediction of the tsunami wave propagation problem.

    Notes: The convergence properties of the conjugate gradient method are discussed in relation to relaxation methods and Chebyshev accelerated Jacobi iteration when applied to the solution of large sets of linear equations which have a sparse, symmetric and positive definite coefficient matrix. The conclusion is reached that its convergence rate is unlikely to be much worse than these methods, and may be considerably better. The conjugate gradient method may either be applied to the basic unscaled or scaled equations or alternatively to various transformed equations. Preconditioning, block elimination and partial elimination methods of transforming equations are considered, and some comparative tests given for six problems.

    Notes: Blending function interpolants on rectangular elements are used to construct an overall interpolant which exactly matches function and normal derivative on the perimeter of a rectangular region. This overall interpolant is incorporated into the Ritz-Galerkin version of the finite element method and a test problem involving the biharmonic equation is solved. The numerical results obtained demonstrate the considerable increase in accuracy of the exact boundary methods as compared with the usual method using interpolated boundary conditions. A similar investigation of second order elliptic problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions where the rectangular region is divided up into triangular elements yields the perhaps surprising result that blended interpolants on triangular elements do not necessarily improve the accuracy of the Ritz-Galekin version of the Finite Element Method.

    Notes: The flexural stiffness for a horizontally curved beam element is developed for nodal parameters wi, (∂w/∂s)i, βi, (∂β/∂s)i, (∂2β/∂s2)i, (∂3β/∂s3)i by assuming a cubic displacement function for vertical deflection w, and a seventh order polynomical function for the angle of twist β, along the length of the curved beam. The element gives good accuracy with even coarse mesh for the analysis of horizontally-curved steel beam with open thin-walled bisymmetrical cross-section.Warping restraint is considered in the derivation of the stiffness matrix, which has considerable influence on the behavior and design of steel bridges curved in-plan. The results obtained from such a new element are compared with those given by a lower order finite element, developed previously by the first author, and with theoretical solutions for the particular problem.

    Notes: A hybrid element method developed recently for two-dimensional problems of water waves in an infinite fluid is extended to three dimensions. In this method only a limited fluid domain close to irregular bodies is discretized into conventional finite elements, while the remaining infinite domain is treated as one element with analytical representations of high accuracy. Continuity at the junction surface is treated as natural boundary conditions in a variational principle. Computation experience and numerical results for several ocean structures are presented.

    Notes: A computational algorithm is developed and applied for optimization of beam and plate structures, subject to constraints on transient dynamic response. A continuous design formulation is retained, with dynamic response governed by partial differential operator equations. Adjoint equations are employed for sensitivity analysis and a function space gradient projection optimization approach is presented. Finite element analysis methods are applied for solution of the system dynamic and adjoint differential equations. Displacement constrained beam and plate minimum weight examples are solved, with a variety of boundary conditions.

    Notes: The problem of cold rolling of a composite sheet which consists of alternate layers of viscoelastic and elastic materials is studied by the finite element method. Results computed and presented graphically include the pressure distribution at the contact surface, the normal stress distribution at the middle surface and the asymmetric deformation of the surface of the sheet in contact with the roller.

    Notes: This paper present a numerical method to obtain optimal quadrature formulas of Gauss type and Radau type in the sense of Sard. Using the relation between optimal quadrature formulas and nonospline functions, the optimal quadrature formula can be obtained by solving a set of no-linear simultaneous algebraic equations induced from the interpolatory conditions of the monospline. In attempting to solve this set of non-linear algebraic equations for numbers of knots and degrees of interpolution required in estimation problem applications insurmountable numerical errors were encountered. This paper solves the numerical problem by first reducing the number of unknowns and equations to approximately one half the original number. This is accomplished by showing and then using a symmetry property of the monospline. Second an iteration scheme which partitions the reduced order set of non-linear algebraic equations into a linear subsystem and a non-linear subsystem is developed to numerically solve the equations. This iteration algorithm provides the advantages of reducing the computational complexity, dynamically checking the convergence and explicitly evluating the resulting accuracy.

    Notes: The strain energy release rate (G) converges rapidly in finite element approximations in which the finite element mesh is fixed and the order of polynomial displacement interpolations (p) is increased. Numerical experiments indicate that the error inG is very closely estimated, even for small pand very coarse finite element meshes, by an expression of the form k (NDF)-1 in which k is a mesh dependent constant and NDF is the number of degrees-of-freedom. The method provides for very efficient and accurate computation of G without the use of special techniques.

    Notes: Computational techniques for the treatment of fluid-structure interaction effects by discrete boundary integral methods are examinde. Attention is focused on the computation of the added mass matrix by finite element methods for a structure submerged in an infinite, inviscid, incompressible fluid. A general computational procedure is presented that is based upon a variational approach involving the assumption of constant source strength over each surface element. This is followed by an analysis of the discretization error for a spherical body that is then used to develop a hierarchy of computational schemes. These schemes are than evaluated numerically in terms of ‘fluid boundary modes’ for a submerged spherical surface. One scheme has been found to be surprisingly accurate in relation to its computational demands.

    Notes: Considerable effort has been invested lately in the application of isoparametric finite elements for numerical solution of a wide range of applied mechanics problems. In fact, several general purpose computer programs are now available which are based upon such finite elements. In the present paper, a new application of the isoparametric finite element concept is introduced which significantly extends its usefulness for many practical structural configurations. In this application, final working or architectural drawings of the structure are made from the same (or similar) finite element model as was utilized in a structural integrity analysis. The hardware necessary to produce such drawing, a computer driven plotter or automated drafting machine, is available commercially or through most data centres, and the software concepts required are described herein.

    Notes: A non-compatible rectangular element with 12 degrees-of-freedom (DF) has been developed by Wilson et at.5 for analyzing 2-dimensional problems. The superior convergence properties of this element as compared with the 8 DF element for linear elasticity problems with important bending have been demonstrated in References 2, 5. The purpose of this study is to assess the compartive efficiency of these two rectangular elements for an estimation of collapse loads in plasticity problems. For convenience, the 12 DF and 8 DF element will be represented by Q6 and Q4 respectively.
