An improved formulation of the Element‐Free Galerkin Method (EFGM) is presented in this
paper. The major shortcoming of the conventional EFGM has been that, due to the use of …

Formulations and computational procedures are presented for the finite element analysis of
laminated anisotropic composite thin shells including imperfections. The derivations of the …

A set of three new hybrid elements with rotational degrees‐of‐freedom (dof's) is introduced.
The solid, 8‐node, hexahedron element is developed for solving three‐dimensional …

A computational modeling technique for fracture propagation in viscoelastic materials using
cohesive elements for the zone ahead of the crack tip is presented. The computational …

Q‐Morph is a new algorithm for generating all‐quadrilateral meshes on bounded three‐dimensional
surfaces. After first triangulating the surface, the triangles are systematically …

The only complete collection of prevalent approximation methods Unlike any other resource,
Approximate Solution Methods in Engineering Mechanics, Second Edition offers in-depth …

Commonly used dependence measures, such as linear correlation, cross-correlogram, or
Kendall’s τ, cannot capture the complete dependence structure in data unless the structure is …

The finite element method, 1 the most powerful numerical technique available today for the
analysis of complex structural and mechanical systems, can be used to obtain numerical …

H-Morph is a new automatic algorithm for the generation of a hexahedral-dominant finite
element mesh for arbitrary volumes. The H-Morph method starts with an initial tetrahedral mesh …

The ability to detect the chaotic signal from a finite time series observation of hydrologic
systems is addressed in this paper. The presence of random and seasonal components in …
