An Element Weakly Primary to Another Element

The Performance of an Hexahedron C* Element in Finite Element Analysis

The performance of an 8-noded hexahedron C1* element in elasticity is investigated. Three translational displacements and their derivatives as strain in each direction are considered as degrees of freedom (d.o.f.’s) at each node. The geometric mapping is enforced using a C0 element with no derivative as nodal d.o.f.’s . The stiffness matrix of the element is also computed using a transformation...

A mixed finite element for weakly-symmetric elasticity

We develop a finite element discretization for the weakly symmetric equations of linear elasticity on tetrahedral meshes. The finite element combines, for r ≥ 0, discontinuous polynomials of r for the displacement, H(div)-conforming polynomials of order r+1 for the stress, and H(curl)-conforming polynomials of order r + 1 for the vector representation of the multiplier. We prove that this tripl...

Another Element for Security Improvement Approach in Web Development Application

In high-speed and extremely complex environment Web enabled, information Security. In Security Improvement Approach (SIA) understanding security This paper presents basic organizational elements that need to be identified, defined and addressed before examining a Web Engineering Development process for security. These elements are derived from empirical evidence based on a Web survey and suppor...

An Element-based Approach to XML Retrieval

This paper describes the INEX 2003 participation of the Language & Inference Technology group of the University of Amsterdam. We participated in all three of the tasks, content-only, strict contentand-structure and vague content-and-structure. Our main strategic lines were to find the appropriate units of retrieval and to mix evidence from several layers in the XML hierarchy.
