Implementation of Timoshenko element local deflection for vertical track modelling

TL;DR: In this paper, a vertical track model suitable for the study of the dynamic response and the interaction between wheel and rail in the time domain is developed by using Timoshenko beam elements, and its performan...

Optimal design of multiphase composites under elastodynamic loading

TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm is proposed to optimize the performance of multiphase composite structures under elastodynamic loading conditions, where the goal is to determine the distribution of material in the structure such that the time-averaged total stored energy of structure is minimized.

Coupling equivalent plate and finite element formulations in multiple-method structural analyses

TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled multiple-method analysis procedure for use late in conceptual design or early in preliminary design of aircraft structures is described using this method, aircraft wing structures are represented with equivalent plate models, and structural details such as engine/pylon structure, landing gear, or a'stick' model of a fuselage is represented with beam finite element models.

Stability of non-prismatic rods subjected to non-conservative loads

TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm for the accurate analysis of the stability of systems built from any non-prismatic rods under static non-potential loads is presented, by searching for a shape function in the form of infinite powers series, equations of motion are formulated.
