Effect of general sparse matrix algorithm on optimization of space structures

TL;DR: This work investigates the effect of a general sparse matrix approach on the optimization of large structures using the optimality criteria approach and the Cholesky lower upper decomposition method for the solution of the resulting linear simultaneous equations.

Personal Perspective of Aeroelasticity During the Years 1953- 1993

TL;DR: A brief review of the development of aeroelasticity during the sixth to ninth decades of the 20th century is given in this article, which is limited to aircraft problems and does not embrace the parallel and large e eld of aerodynamic, elastic, and inertia forces acting on a helicopter.

A recursive formulation of the equations of motion for articulated structures with closed loops-an automated approach

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive computer algorithm used in the dynamic analysis of multibody systems is presented, which uses Kane's equations, the strain energy, and modal analysis combined to describe elastic bodies.

Inclusion of Transverse Shear Deformation in a Beam Element Based on the Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation

TL;DR: In this article, a procedure to account for transverse shear deformation in the absolute nodal coordinate formulation is presented, where slope vectors are replaced by vectors that describe the orientation of the beam cross-section.
