Development of a unified numerical procedure for free vibration analysis of structures

TL;DR: A numerical algorithm and a computer program have been successfully developed for the efficient and economical solution of structural eigenvalue problems, enabling effective solutions to be achieved for large, complex, practical structures.

Modeling and experimental verification of thermally induced residual stress in RF-MEMS

TL;DR: In this paper, nonlinear finite element method (FEM) modeling and experimental validation of residual stress induced in the clamped-clamped microbeams and the symmetric toggle RF-MEMS switch (STS) is presented.

A new methodology to study the pantograph–catenary dynamics in curved railway tracks

TL;DR: In this article, the analysis of the dynamic behaviour of the catenary and the pantograph-catenary system is presented for electric traction railway vehicles, and the analysis is extended to the case of electric locomotives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large deflection analysis of frame structures by fictitious forces

TL;DR: In this paper, a new procedure is presented for the analysis of geometrically non-linear frame structures, which assumes small strains and uses "fictitious forces" based on the rotation from the initial configuration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Total Lagrangian formulation for the large displacement analysis of rectangular plates

TL;DR: In this article, a non-linear dynamic analysis of rectangular plates that undergo large rigid body motions and small elastic deformations is presented, where the rigid body displacement of the plate is defined by the translation and rotation of a selected plate reference.
