The compound strip method (CSM) for plates is an expansion of the finite strip method (FSM) and was developed to incorporate the effects of the support elements in the analysis of linear elastic plate systems. In this paper the CSM is further expanded to analyze structures such as stiffened plates under loads in the plane of the plate or the so called plane-stress condition. Examples of these t...

using cold working fastener holes is a simple life enhancement procedure that strengthens metallic components by retarding crack growth around a hole. in the present paper, the residual stress field that is induced by the hole expansion process is obtained based on different material models namely elastic perfect plastic, isotropic hardening and kinematic hardening using three-dimensional finit...

the paper investigates into the vibrational characteristics of the truck chassis including the natural frequencies and mode shapes. truck chassis forms the structural backbone of a commercial vehicle. when the truck travels along the road, the truck chassis is excited by dynamic forces caused by the road roughness, engine, transmission and more. modal analysis using finite element method (fem) ...

We present a method for animating deformable objects using a novel finite element discretization on convex polyhedra. Our finite element approach draws upon recently introduced 3D mean value coordinates to define smooth interpolants within the elements. The mathematical properties of our basis functions guarantee convergence. Our method is a natural extension to linear interpolants on tetrahedr...

‎Let $G $ be a finite group and $X$ be a conjugacy class of $G.$ The‎ ‎rank of $X$ in $G,$ denoted by $rank(G{:}X),$ is defined to‎ ‎be the minimal number of elements of $X$ generating $G.$ In this‎ ‎paper we establish the ranks of all the conjugacy classes of‎ ‎elements for simple alternating group $A_{10}$ using the structure‎ ‎constants method and other results established in‎ ‎[A.B.M‎. ‎Bas...

A new way of modelling and solving partial differential equations is derived. While the finite element (FE) methodology is based on the integration over finite elements, this novel approach utilizes edges (finite lines) instead, which results in a finite line integration (FLIM). We present how the FE-computations over elements (areas or volumes) can be rewritten for the stiffness matrix based o...
