1. Large Displacement Static Analysis of Composite Elliptic Panels of Revolution having Variable Thickness and Resting on Winkler-Pasternak Elastic Foundation
Abstract Nonlinear static response of laminated composite Elliptic Panels of Revolution Structure(s) (EPRS) having variable thickness resting on Winkler-Pasternak (W-P) Elastic Foundation is investigated in this article. Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method is utilized to obtain the numerical solution of EPRS. The first-order shear deformation th

2. Large deflection and initial instability analysis of anisotropic plates by the generalized finite element method
Abstract This paper presents investigations laminated plates under moderately large transverse displacements and initial instability, through the Generalized Finite Element Methods - GFEM. The von Kármán plate hypothesis are used along with Kirchhoff and Reissner-Mindlin kinematic plate bending models to approximate transverse displacements and critical bu

3. Reduced-order strategy for meshless solution of plate bending problems with the generalized finite difference method
Abstract This paper presents some recent advances on the numerical solution of the classical Germain-Lagrange equation for plate bending of thin elastic plates. A meshless strategy using the Generalized Finite Difference Method (GFDM) is proposed upon substitution of the original fourth-order differential equation by a system composed of two second-order par

4. GFEM STABILIZATION TECHNIQUES APPLIED TO DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF NON-UNIFORM SECTION BARS
Abstract The Finite Element Method (FEM), although widely used as an approximate solution method, has some limitations when applied in dynamic analysis. As the loads excite the high frequency and modes, the method may lose precision and accuracy. To improve the representation of these high-frequency modes, we can use the Generalized Finite Element Method (GF

5. Numerical experiments with the Generalized Finite Element Method based on a flat-top Partition of Unity
Abstract The Stable Generalized Finite Element Method (SGFEM) is essentially an improved version of the Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM). Besides of retaining the good flexibility for constructing local enriched approximations, the SGFEM has the advantage of presenting much better conditioning than that of the conventional GFEM. Actually, bad conditi

6. Sensitivity analysis of 3D frictional contact with BEM using complex-step differentiation
Abstract This paper presents a study of the complex step differentiation method applied to a parameter sensitivity analysis for 3D elastic contact problem. The analysis is performed with the Boundary Element Method (BEM) using discontinuous elements and the Generalized Newton Method with line search (GNMls). A standard BEM implementation is used and the cont

7. Application of Short Fibers Reinforced Composites in Power Transmission Coupling
Abstract In this study the use of short glass, carbon and hybrid glass-carbon fibers reinforced polymeric composites in power transmission coupling is investigated. The presented work is generalized to thermoplastic and thermoset polymeric matrix composites. The effects of the constituents weight percentages, and average fibers length on the composite tensil

8. An Object-Oriented Class Organization for Global-Local Generalized Finite Element Method
Abstract This paper shows and discusses a generic implementation of the global-local analysis toward generalized finite element method (GFEMgl). This implementation, performed into an academic computational platform, follows the object-oriented approach presented by the authors in a previous work for the standard version of GFEM in which the shape functions

9. Free and Forced Vibration Analysis of Stepped Circular Cylindrical Shells with Several Intermediate Supports Using an Extended Wave Method; a Generalized Approach
Abstract A combination of vectorial form of wave method (VWM) with Fourier expansion series is proposed as a new vehicle for free and forced vibration analysis of stepped cylindrical shells with multiple intermediate flexible supports. The flexible supports can include springs with arbitrary properties in the possible directions. Based on Flügge thin shell

12. Nonlinear Equilibrium and Stability Analysis of Axially Loaded Piles Under Bilateral Contact Constraints
AbstractThis paper presents a nonlinear stability analysis of piles under bilateral contact constraints imposed by a geological medium (soil or rock). To solve this contact problem, the paper proposes a general numerical methodology, based on the finite element method (FEM). In this context, a geometrically nonlinear beam-column element is used to model the
