Multibody Analysis of Controlled Aeroelastic Systems on Parallel Computers

TL;DR: The paper describes the application of parallel techniques to amultibody multidisciplinary formulation of a system of nonlinear Differential-Algebraic Equations using a sub-structuring domain decomposition method, that is able to exploit the characteristic quasi-monodimensional topology that multibody models usually present.

Nonlinear force density method for the form-finding of minimal surface membrane structures

TL;DR: An alternative approach for the form-finding of the minimal surface membranes (including cable membranes) using discrete models and nonlinear force density method and a hybrid version of these methods are suggested as an effective solution strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robust stability analysis of structures with uncertain parameters using mathematical programming approach

TL;DR: A novel mathematical programming approach for the static stability analysis of structures with uncertainties within the framework of FEM that can overcome the interference on the sharpness of bounds of the buckling load due to the interval dependence issue.

STARS: An integrated general-purpose finite element structural, aeroelastic, and aeroservoelastic analysis computer program

TL;DR: The SOLIDS module of the program possesses an extensive finite element library suitable for modeling most practical problems and is capable of solving statics, vibration, buckling, and dynamic response problems of complex structures, including spinning ones.

Design for frequency by the integrated force method

TL;DR: In this article, the integrated force method of analysis is extended to calculate frequencies of structures, using the hitherto unexplored concept of "force mode shapes" as the prime variables in vibration analysis.
