In this paper, a node-based smoothed finite element method (NS-FEM) using 3-node
triangular elements is formulated for static, free vibration and buckling analyses of Reissner …

Meshless methods, that appeared in the early nineties, constitute nowadays an appealing
method for the simulation of forming processes. In this review we revisit the basic ingredients …

Buckling study of plates subjected to uniformly uniaxial, biaxial in-plane compression and
pure shear loads using an efficient novel meshfree method is presented in this paper. The …

In this paper, the combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM) has been applied to
analyze the deformation of anisotropic geomaterials. In the most general case geomaterials …

The edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) was recently proposed to
improve the performance of linearly triangular finite element models for mechanics …

Numerical integration errors and volumetric locking in the near-incompressible limit are two
outstanding issues in Galerkin-based meshfree computations. In this paper, we present a …

We present a Lagrangian nodal integration method for the simulation of Newtonian and non-
Newtonian free-surface fluid flows. The proposed nodal Lagrangian method uses a finite …

Global concern over the possible deleterious effects of noise on marine organisms was
catalyzed when toothed whales stranded and died in the presence of high intensity sound …

A superconvergent alpha finite element method (SαFEM) based on triangular mesh is
presented for static and free vibration analysis of shell structures. In the SαFEM model, a …

The consecutive-interpolation procedure (CIP) has been recently proposed as an enhanced
technique for traditional finite element method (FEM) with various desirable properties such …
