VERTICAL VIBRATIONS OF BASE ISOLATED MACHINEFOUNDATIONS
Vibration of base isolated machine foundations has been studied using the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM) and the cone model method. The dynamic stiffness of soil supporting rigid massless foundation was determined.

A Comparative Study of Polygonal Element Formulations for Linear Elasticity
ABSTRACT With the rising complexity of architectural design, a growing interest in topology optimization, and the increasing need to model crack propagation, there is a higher demand for highly flexible geometry descriptions that go hand in hand with robust element formulations.

ABSTRACT Modeling wave propagation in soil using conventional finite element methods necessitates the simulation of extensive spatial domains to prevent reflections at artificial boundaries. Classical absorbing boundary conditions can be used to mitigate this problem, but must be placed at a considerable distance from the area of interest to ensure ...

ABSTRACT Although finite elements were made available for FFT‐based computational homogenization methods, they are seldomly used for inelastic computations because traditionally the constitutive law is evaluated at each quadrature point of the element, making the storage of that many internal variables necessary, as well.

A scaled boundary shell formulation in isogeometric analysis for static and dynamic analysis
Abstract In modern applications of computer‐aided design (CAD) for the analysis of shell structures, isogeometric analysis is a powerful tool that integrates both design and analysis. An exact geometry description and a straightforward computation without loss of information are advantageous, especially for shell structures such as roofs, satellite ...

Stabilization‐free virtual element method for 2D elastoplastic problems
Abstract In this paper, a novel first‐ and second‐order stabilization‐free virtual element method is proposed for two‐dimensional elastoplastic problems. In contrast to traditional virtual element methods, the improved method does not require any stabilization, making the solution of nonlinear problems more reliable.

SBFEM with perturbation method for solving the Reynolds equation
Abstract Rotordynamic simulations with nonlinear hydrodynamic bearing forces require a solution of the Reynolds equation at every time step. As a computationally efficient alternative to the standard numerical methods, a semi‐analytical solution based on the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) was developed recently.

Evaluation of Numerical Methods for Dispersion Curve Estimation in Viscoelastic Plates
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of five analytical and semi-analytical methods for estimating Lamb wave dispersion in viscoelastic plates—the Rayleigh–Lamb solution, the Global Matrix Method (GMM), the Semi-Analytical Finite Element (SAFE ...
