نویسندگان
چکیده
Design and application of super elements in efficient prediction of the structural behaviour in a short time has been one of the research interests in the last decade. A new 16-node cylindrical super element is presented in this paper and implemented to modal analysis of hollow cylinders subjected to various boundary conditions. Comparison of the findings with conventional finite element reveals CPU time saving and accuracy of the results. It is seen that this element can predict the vibration behaviour of hollow cylinders in an efficient manner.

Speeding up the Stress Analysis of Hollow Circular FGM Cylinders by Parallel Finite Element Method
In this article, a parallel computer program is implemented, based on Finite Element Method, to speed up the analysis of hollow circular cylinders, made from Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs). FGMs are inhomogeneous materials, which their composition gradually varies over volume. In parallel processing, an algorithm is first divided to independent tasks, which may use individual or shared da...

متن کاملAnalysis of Stress Intensity Factors in Hollow Cylinders Reinforced by an Effective Coating Containing Multiple Cracks
In this paper, the solution of an isotropic hollow cylinder, with an isotropic coating, weakened by multiple radial cracks is studied. The hollow cylinder and its coating are under Saint-Venant torsional loading. The series solution is then derived for displacement and stress fields in the cross section of the cylinder containing a Volterra-type screw dislocation. The dislocation solution is em...
متن کاملGeneralized solution of functionally graded hollow cylinder under torsional load
In this paper, a general solution for torsion of hollow cylinders made of functionally graded materials (FGM) was investigated. The problem was formulated in terms of Prandtl’s stress and, in general, the shear stress and angle of twist were derived. Variations in the material properties such as Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio might be arbitrary functions of the radial coordinate. Various m...

In the present paper, the nonlinear transfinite element procedure recently published by the author is improved by introducing an enhanced convergence criterion to significantly reduce the computational run-times. It is known that transformation techniques have been developed mainly for linear systems, only. Due to using a huge number of time steps, employing the conventional time integration me...
