Improved accuracy for finite element structural analysis via an integrated force method
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study was carried out to determine the accuracy of finite element analyses based on the stiffness method, a mixed method, and the new integrated force and dual integrated force methods.

Flight Dynamics of Flexible Aircraft with Aeroelastic and Inertial Force Interactions
Nhan T. Nguyen,Ilhan Tuzcu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated flight dynamic modeling method for flexible aircraft that captures coupled physics effects due to inertial forces, aeroelasticity, and propulsive forces that are normally present in flight is presented.

Locking‐free finite elements for shear deformable orthotropic thin‐walled beams
TL;DR: In this article, numerical models for finite element analyses of assemblages of thin-walled open-section profiles are presented, where the assumed kinematical model is based on Timoshenko-Reissner theory, taking shear strain effects of non-uniform bending and torsion into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic continuum modeling of beamlike space structures using finite element matrices
TL;DR: In this paper, a rational and straight-forward method for developing equivalent continuum models of large beam-like periodic lattice structures based on energy equivalence is introduced, where the Extended Timoshenko bean model is chosen to take account of the effects due to couplings between extension, transverse shear and bending deformations.

Fundamentals of the Finite Element Method
TL;DR: The finite element method (FEM) as discussed by the authors was originally developed for analysis of complex structural systems, for which there is no simple solution, and it was used to find an approximate solution for a small element of a structural system.
