A Super - Element Based on Finite Element Method for Latticed Columns Computational Aspect and Numerical Results

This paper presents a new super-element with twelve degrees of freedom for latticed columns. This elements is developed such that it behaves, with an acceptable approximation, in the same manner as a reference model does. The reference model is constructed by using many Solid elements. The cross section area, moments of inertia, shear coefficient and torsoinal rigidity of the developed new elem...

Boundary Element Method for Mixed Mode Fracture Analysis

Denda and Marante [1] have developed the boundary element method for the mixed mode fracture analysis of multiple curvilinear cracks in the general anisotropic solids in two dimensions for which in-plane Mode I, II, and out-of-plane Mode III, of fracture are coupled. They have developed the crack tip singular element (CTSE) to model any curvilinear cracks, including center and edge cracks. The ...
