Abstract

This paper presents advances in recent work of the authors to derive a fractional step scheme based on the stabilized finite element method that allows overcoming the above mentioned problem, resulting in a efficient time accurate scheme.

The starting point is the modified [...]

Abstract

The paper extends recent work of the authors to include transverse shear effects on rotation-free triangular element for plates (Oñate and Zárate [...]

Abstract

In this paper some results of a wide experimental program are presented and compared with some finite element solution of sheet metal forming problems using a viscous shell formulation.[...]

Abstract

A set of numerical model experiments has been conducted to simulate the circulation driven by oscillatory forcing over a theoretical continental slope configuration used previously in laboratory experiments. The test case considered was the numerical simulation of the flow over [...]

Abstract

This paper summarizes the development for a large displacement formulation of a membrance composed of three-node triangular elements. A formulation in terms [...]

Abstract

This article presents the first application of the Finite Calculus (FIC) in a Ritz-FEM variational framework. FIC provides a steplength parametrization [...]

Abstract

In this paper an automatic remeshing algorithm of triangular finite elements is presented. It is well known that the element sizes of the mesh play an important role in modeling the continuum, particularly when notable material properties differences exist in contiguous areas of [...]

Abstract

The surface texture of the pavement plays a very important role in driving the frictional properties at the tire rubber-pavement interface. Particularly, the hysteretic friction due to viscoelastic deformations of rubber depends mainly on the pavement surface texture. In the present [...]

Abstract

To study the wheel/rail rolling contact fatigue of high-speed trains, we obtain the distribution of contact forces between wheel and rail by introducing the strain-rate effect. Based on the finite element simulation, a two-dimensional finite element model is established, and the process [...]

Abstract

The behavior and response of pipelines subjected to slip fault movement is studied by numerical simulations as well as experimental setup. A finite element modeling is also developed via ABAQUS software. In this study, an artificial accelerogram is applied to the system and matched [...]
