Finite Element Analyses in the Tunnel: An Overview

An Algorithm for Finite Element Analysis of Tunnel Supports Based on the Winkler’s Theory

The Particle Finite Element Method. an Overview

We present a general formulation for analysis of fluid-structure interaction problems using the particle finite element method (PFEM). The key feature of the PFEM is the use of a Lagrangian description to model the motion of nodes (particles) in both the fluid and the structure domains. Nodes are thus viewed as particles which can freely move and even separate from the main analysis domain repr...

Eigensolvers and Applications in Finite Element Analyses Eigensolvers and Applications in Finite Element Analyses

SUMMARY This article presents an overview of eigenproblems that arise in current nite-element computations. We focus on a set of applications that have been studied at CERFACS, Centre Europ een de Recherche et de Formation Avanc ee en Calcul Scientiique, and describe the ideas and tools that have been developed to deal with them. The main characteristics of ve diierent cases are given. We also ...

An Overview on the Applications of Spatial Analyses in the Management and Allocation of Hemodialysis Services

Introduction: The prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) reached about 13.4% in 2016. Among available treatment methods, hemodialysis is the most common way used for the treatment of patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), the last stage of CKD. On average, these patients refer to hemodialysis centers three times a week. The high patients referral rate indicates the importance of prop...
