✦ Synopsis

This is a presentation of a quadrilateral finite element for wrinkled curved elastic membranes. A modified form of the deformation gradient enables us to avoid the spurious compressive stresses generated by a classical model. It results in non-linear relations for the eigencomponents of the Cauchy stress tensor, which are solved by means of a secant method. The application of the element to sail design is presented in this paper.

A two-level ΓΏnite element method is introduced and its application to the Helmholtz equation is considered. The method retains the desirable features of the Galerkin method enriched with residual-free bubbles, while it is not limited to discretizations using elements with simple geometry. The method

## Abstract The objective of this study is to propose a 2.5D finite/infinite element procedure for dealing with the ground vibrations induced by moving loads. Besides the two in‐plane degrees of freedom (DOFs) per node conventionally used for plane strain elements, an extra DOF is introduced to acc
