SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 36, No. 1 (Nov., 1998 - Jan., 1999), pp. 32-73 (42 pages) We consider the design of finite element methods for the Naghdi shell model in the case when the ...

Multibody dynamics and finite element analysis jointly form a robust framework for simulating the complex interplay between rigid and flexible bodies. This interdisciplinary approach allows ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...
