Hysteretic Finite Elements for the Nonlinear Static and Dynamic Analysis of Structures
TL;DR: In this article, a new numerical analysis procedure is presented for the nonlinear analysis of structures, which relies on the natural evolution of localized inelastic quantities within the element, that is, the plastic deformation evaluated at properly defined collocation points rather than the evaluation of global and varying state matrices.

Dynamic instability of suspension bridges
TL;DR: In this article, a modal technique is used to predict flutter speed on suspension bridges. But the authors address the question of how the degree of refinement of the basic structural model and the number of natural modes included in the interaction analysis affect the predicted flutter speeds.

On issues of elastic–rigid coupling in finite element modeling of high-speed machines
Zhijia Yang,J.P. Sadler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the past formulations have some extra and therefore non-existent coupling terms that in fact lead to cancellation in the net coupling effect, thus unknowingly and improperly losing the coupling effects originally expedted in finite element modeling of high-speed machines.

Calculation of joint spring rates using finite element formulation
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for calculating the torsional spring rates of structural joints using finite element formulation is presented, which does not require a finite element model for the joint.

Cubic beam elements in practical analysis and design of steel frames
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of cubic beam elements for computer structural analysis/design of steel frames is discussed, and it is pointed out that the concern expressed in recent literature regarding the number of cubic elements required to model a steel member is not justified, and that the inaccuracy of one cubic element in Euler buckling analysis of a simply supported column is largely irrelevant to the second-order elastic analysis or advanced analysis of steel frame.
