A method for evaluating the static response of uncertain finite element (FE) discretised structures is presented. The method is comparable with the perturbation procedures from a computational point of view, but it overcomes the drawbacks related to these procedures. In fact the present method gives

β¦ Synopsis
ntroduction Tim finite element method [2] is a well-known and time-tested technique for dew?loping approximate solutions to static or dynamic problems in stress analysis. Using this method, regions with rather complex geometries are discretized into a number of small units, called finite elements. For each of these elements the mathematical equations expressing their slatic or dynamic behavior can be obtained by evaluating some basic mechanical principles, e.g. the d'Alembert's principle. Finally, the combination of the equations for the assembly of the elements leads to a more or less extended system of linear equations that can be solved by traditional techniques.

A general framework is developed for the finite element solution of optimal control problems governed by elliptic nonlinear partial differential equations. Typical applications are steady-state problems in nonlinear continuum mechanics, where a certain property of the solution (a function of displac
## Abstract The present paper deals with the theoretical and numerical treatment of dynamic unilateral problems. The governing equations are formulated as an equivalent variational inequality expressing D' Alembert's principle in its inequality form. The discretization with respect to time and spac
We present a velocity based approach including acceleration to the finite element computation of metal forming problems, based on the viscoplastic Norton-Hoff law. In order to reduce computational cost, we suggest substituting the classical solution procedure based on standard Newton-Raphson method
