Existing solution techniques which are based upon the variational inequalities description of frictional contact problems mostly adopt penalty and regularization methods. The convergence and accuracy of these methods are governed by user defined parameters. To overcome the difficulties associated wi

In this paper the application of an Artificial Intelligence paradigm called Case Based Reasoning (CBR) to the issue of mesh specification for adaptive finite element analysis is discussed. It is argued that CBR can provide greater flexibility than the traditional rule-based approach, permitting solu
Based on analytical considerations by Dvorak and Babel-El-Din, a 3/D finite element material law has been developed for the elastic-plastic analysis of unidirectional fiber-reinforced metal matrix composites. The material law described in this paper has been implemented in the finite element code AB
