Finite element analysis of elastic beams subjected to moving dynamic loads

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamic analysis of elastic beams subjected to dynamic loads induced by the arbitrary movement of a spring-mass-damper system is presented, and the governing equations for the interaction between the beam and the moving dynamic system are derived, based on a finite element formulation.

Thermomechanical finite-element model of shell behavior in continuous casting of steel

TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled finite-element model, CON2D, is developed to simulate temperature, stress, and shape development during the continuous casting of steel, both in and below the mold.

An integrated model of the development of process-induced deformation in autoclave processing of composite structures

TL;DR: Sommaire et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a two-dimensional finite element model for prediction of process-induced deformation and integration of this model with analyses for heat transfer and resin cure and resin flow allows analysis of all major identified deformation sources.
