Stabilized four-node tetrahedron with nonlocal pressure for modeling hyperelastic materials [PDF]
Non-linear hyperelastic response of reinforced elastomers is modeled using a novel three-dimensional mixed finite element method with a nonlocal pressure field. The element is unconditionally convergent and free of spurious pressure modes.

Free surface simulation of a two-layer fluid by boundary element method
A two-layer fluid with free surface is simulated in the time domain by a two-dimensional potential-based Numerical Wave Tank (NWT). The developed NWT is based on the boundary element method and a leap-frog time integration scheme.
