Upper and Lower Bounds for Eigenvalues of the Elliptic Operator by Weak Galerkin Quadrilateral Spectral Element Methods

open access: yesAxioms
In this study, we investigate the upper- and lower-bound approximations of numerical eigenvalues derived by weak Galerkin spectral element methods on arbitrary convex quadrilateral meshes for the Laplace eigenvalue problem.

A Hybrid Stress Plane Element with Strain Field [PDF]

open access: yesCivil Engineering Infrastructures Journal, 2017
In this paper, a plane quadrilateral element with rotational degrees of freedom is developed. Present formulation is based on a hybrid functional with independent boundary displacement and internal optimum strain field.

Connectivity Compression for Irregular Quadrilateral Meshes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Applications that require Internet access to remote 3D datasets are often limited by the storage costs of 3D models. Several compression methods are available to address these limits for objects represented by triangle meshes.

Flipping Cubical Meshes

open access: yes, 2002
We define and examine flip operations for quadrilateral and hexahedral meshes, similar to the flipping transformations previously used in triangular and tetrahedral mesh generation.Comment: 20 pages, 24 figures.

An embedded crack model for failure analysis of concrete solids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present a quadrilateral fi nite element with an embedded crack that can be used to model tensile fracture in two-dimensional concrete solids and the crack growth. The element has kinematics that can represent linear jumps in both normal and tangential

Efficient unstructured quadrilateral mesh generation [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2000
This work is devoted to the description of an algorithm for automatic quadrilateral mesh generation. The technique is based on a recursive decomposition of the domain into quadrilateral elements. This automatically generates meshes composed entirely by quadrilaterals over complex geometries (there is no need for a previous step where triangles are ...

Numerical Modeling of Tank Cars Carrying Hazardous Materials With and Without Composite Metal Foam

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Large‐scale puncture models consisting of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) tank car with protective steel–steel composite metal foam (S–S CMF) are solved numerically. Tank car plate with added 10.91–13.33 mm thick S–S CMF layer does not puncture. Protective S–S CMF absorbs impact energy, reduces plate deformation, and prevents shear bands formation ...

Template mapping method for plane quadrilateral mesh generation with controllable density transitions

open access: yesEngineering Reports
In this article, we integrate the template method and the mapping method to propose a new approach for generating quadrilateral meshes with controllable density transitions for planar geometric models.

Band Alignment in In‐Oxo Metal Porphyrin SURMOF Heterojunctions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Porphyrin core metalation in indium‑oxo SURMOFs enables systematic tuning of band edge positions without altering the crystal structure. First‑principles calculations reveal type‑I and type‑II heterostructures as well as multi‑junction energy cascades, establishing a modular strategy for exciton funneling and charge separation in optoelectronic ...
