Finite Element Discretization for Mixed-Mode Fracture Problems
The finite element discretization of mixed-mode problems in fracture mechanics is investigated. The characteristics of the mesh near the crack affect the accuracy of the finite element...
Ship Wave Prediction for Port and Channel Design
Several laboratory and field investigations of ship-generated waves have been conducted during the past twenty-five years. Typically, for a given ship, reported data consists of the height...
Some Recent Advances in Automatic Mesh Generation
The establishment of automated finite element modeling procedures must begin with the development of automatic mesh generators capable of producing a valid finite element mesh for any...
Modern Methods for Automatic FE Mesh Generation
An overview of the various Finite Element mesh generation techniques is presented. Since most automatic FE Mesh Generation techniques read in geometry of the object and create meshes on...
A Mesh Generator for the Modeling of Rock Discontinuities
The need to characterize a rock mass by collecting field data is receiving more and more emphasis as larger, more ambitious underground structures are being built. Yet there is a need...
Automating Three-Dimensional Finite Element Mesh Generation
A number of important advances and contributions to the topic of computer aided finite element mesh generation have been made by the Mathematics Department at the General Motors Research...
Hierarchical Substructuring for Adaptive Analysis
An algorithm for the automatic generation, from solid models, of finite element meshes organized as spatially addressable quaternary trees (for 2-D analysis) or octal trees (for 3-D analysis)...
Modern Methods for Automating Finite Element Mesh Generation
The collection of finite elements composing the finite element model is the finite element mesh. The five papers in this book describe computer aided methods for generating finite elements...
A Transformation Technique to Generate a Shallow-Water Directional Wave Climate
The shallow-water wave data must be computed as to be representative of a sufficient length of coast to be useful for most projects, while sufficiently large to filter out many spurious...
Automated Analysis Model Generation
The state of development of the capabilities needed to automatically link the geometric definition of a CAD system to finite element analysis is discussed. Areas considered include fully...
