Spectrally formulated finite element for vibration analysis of an Euler-Bernoulli beam on Pasternak foundation

  In this article, vibration analysis of an Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on a Pasternak-type foundation is studied. The governing equation is solved by using a spectral finite element model (SFEM). The solution involves calculating wave and time responses of the beam. The Fast Fourier Transform function is used for temporal discretization of the governing partial differential equation into a se...

Finite Element Analysis of the Bumper Beam

The main purpose of bumper is to absorb shock in case of a collision. Several materials have been used to develop these shock-absorbing capabilities, such as steel, aluminium, glass mat thermoplastics and sheet molding compound. The purpose of this project is to design a bumper which is to improve crashworthiness of the bumper beam. Crashworthiness is the ability of the bumper beam to prevent o...

Finite element discretization of a thermoelastic beam

We consider the steady case of a nonlinear model for a thermoelastic beam that can enter in contact with obstacles. We first prove the well-posedness of this problem. Next, we propose a finite element discretization and perform the a priori and a posteriori analysis of the discrete problem. Some numerical experiments confirm the interest of this approach. Résumé: Nous considérons le cas station...
