TL;DR: In this article, an effective, simple, robust and locking-free plate formulation is proposed to analyze the static bending, buckling, and free vibration of homogeneous and functionally graded plates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple open-source semi-intrusive computational method to propagate uncertainties through hyperelastic models of soft tissues is presented, which is up to two orders of magnitude faster than the standard Monte Carlo method.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the ability of a derivative-driven Monte Carlo estimator to accelerate the propagation of uncertainty through two high-level non-linear finite element models using UFL.

TL;DR: It is shown that by using a high-level mathematical modelling strategy and automatic code generation tools, a wide range of advanced plate and shell finite element models can be generated easily and efficiently, including the linear and non-linear geometrically exact Naghdi shell models, the Marguerre-von Karman shallow shell model, and the Reissner-Mindlin plate model.

TL;DR: A robust and efficient form of the smoothed finite element method (S-FEM) is presented to simulate hyperelastic bodies with compressible and nearly-incompressible neo-Hookean behaviour and strain smoothing is at least as accurate and stable, as the MINI element, for an equivalent problem size.
