In this paper, Forchheimer equation is used as the constitutive equation for flow through rockfill, and the non-linear two-dimensional governing equation with free surface is solved by a new finite element method in a fixed grid. The model is verified by applying it to different flow conditions. The first scenario, which is assumed to be one-dimensional with analytical solution available for it...

in this paper we have discussed the main features of a finite clement program which we have developed for nonlinear dynamic analysis of plates and shells with material and geometric nonlinear behaviour. for this purpose, initially, the finite element model which we have used is briefly described. afterwards, the nonlinear viscoplastic material model in one-dimensional and multi-dimensional medi...
