Evaluation of coupled finite element/meshfree method for a robust full-scale crashworthiness simulation of railway vehicles [PDF]
The crashworthiness of a railway vehicle relates to its passive safety performance. Due to mesh distortion and difficulty in controlling the hourglass energy, conventional finite element methods face great challenges in crashworthiness simulation of ...

Fast Stiffness Matrix Calculation for Nonlinear Finite Element Method [PDF]
We propose a fast stiffness matrix calculation technique for nonlinear finite element method (FEM). Nonlinear stiffness matrices are constructed using Green-Lagrange strains, which are derived from infinitesimal strains by adding the nonlinear terms ...

We consider a mixed finite element method for a linear multivariate spline using the Laplacian penalty. Our discretisation is based on biorthogonal systems leading to a very simple and efficient finite element scheme.

Augmented Lagrangian method for imposing nonlinear multi freedom constraints in static analysis for frames using FEM [PDF]
This paper focuses on the treatment of nonlinear multi freedom constraints using an augmented Lagrangian method in finite element analysis of frames. The process of imposing boundary constraints is developed by changing the assembly stiffness equation to

A Finite Element Method for Nonlinear Elliptic Problems [PDF]
We present a continuous finite element method for some examples of fully nonlinear elliptic equation. A key tool is the discretisation proposed in Lakkis & Pryer (2011, SISC) allowing us to work directly on the strong form of a linear PDE. An added benefit to making use of this discretisation method is that a recovered (finite element) Hessian is a

Gradient-Finite Element Method for Nonlinear Neumann Problems [PDF]
Summary: We consider the numerical solution of quasilinear elliptic Neumann problems \[ \begin{cases} T(u) &\equiv -\text{div}(f(x,\nabla u)\nabla u)= g(x),\\ {\partial u\over\partial\nu}|_{\partial\Omega} &= 0.\end{cases} \] The basic difficulty is the non-injectivity of the operator, which can be overcome by suitable factorization.

Galerkin finite element method for nonlinear fractional differential equations [PDF]
In this paper, we study the existence, regularity, and approximation of the solution for a class of nonlinear fractional differential equations. {In order to do this}, suitable variational formulations are defined for a nonlinear boundary value problems with Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional derivatives together with the homogeneous Dirichlet ...
