A novel augmented finite element method for modeling arbitrary cracking in solids

TL;DR: Yang et al. as discussed by the authors presented a new augmented finite element method (A-FEM) that can account for multiple, intra-elemental discontinuities with a demonstrated improvement in numerical efficiency.

Criteria for seismic analysis of nuclear plant structures and substructures

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the criteria used for seismic analysis of nuclear power plant structures such as supporting structures founded on ground, as well as substructures, and present an analytical approach for obtaining reduced stiffness and associated mass matrices of supporting substructure with finite element representation for use in the dynamic analysis of equipment and supporting structures.

A finite dynamic element for laminated composite plates and shells

TL;DR: In this article, a cost reduction ratio of 12 was achieved for the first six modes of a swept, tapered sandwich composite plate, at the 3 percent error level, for which none of the first 12 frequencies was in error by more than 3 percent.

Stability of nonprismatic members

TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of non-prismatic beam-columns is studied using the stiffness method of analysis to simulate the beamcolumns and shear deformation effects are included.
