Topology redesign for performance by large admissible perturbations
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-02)
A methodology is developed for optimal structural topology design subject to several performance constraints. Eight-node solid elements are used to model the initial structure, which is a uniform solid block satisfying the ...
Topology and performance redesign of complex structures by large admissible perturbations
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-10)
A methodology for topology redesign of com- plex structures by LargE Admissible Perturbations (LEAP) is developed. LEAP theory is extended to solve topology redesign problems using 8-node solid elements. The corresponding ...
Three-dimensional nonlinear statics of pipelaying using condensation in an incremental finite element algorithm
(Elsevier, 1990)
The problem of static, nonlinear three-dimensional deformation of pipelaying used in construction and installation of underwater pipelines is studied within the limits of small strain theory. The mathematical model consists ...
A finite element analysis of beams on elastic foundation including shear and axial effects
(Elsevier, 1987)
A displacement finite element method for analyzing a beam on continuous elastic foundation is presented. A three-dimensional model which accounts for the effects of both the Filonenko-Borodich and Pasternak foundation ...
