Finite Element Reliability Methods in Earthquake Engineering Practice

The field of earthquake engineering is rapidly moving towards the use of sophisticated computational methods in engineering practice. This development is motivated by improved capabilities to numerically simulate nonlinear structural behavior during strong ground motion and the observation from recent earthquakes that the actual performance implied by simplified design guidelines is unclear. In...

Finite Element Methods for Convection Diffusion Equation

This paper deals with the finite element solution of the convection diffusion equation in one and two dimensions. Two main techniques are adopted and compared. The first one includes Petrov-Galerkin based on Lagrangian tensor product elements in conjunction with streamlined upwinding. The second approach represents Bubnov/Petrov-Galerkin schemes based on a new group of exponential elements. It ...
