✦ Synopsis

We consider methods for adaptive updating of computational meshes during incremental loading of non-linear shell and solid structures. In particular, we focus on updating methods where the initial topology of the mesh is maintained. The movement of the mesh (the convective step) is decoupled from the Lagrangian solution step and is done by using separately computed displacement fields, obtained by solving auxiliary thermoelastic problems. The properties of this mesh-updating procedure are investigated and demonstrated on several examples.

The full adaptive multigrid method is based on the tri-tree grid generator. The solution of the Navier-Stokes equations is first found for a low Reynolds number. The velocity boundary conditions are then increased and the grid is adapted to the scaled solution. The scaled solution is then used as a

A numerical procedure for a dynamic non-linear finite element analysis is proposed here to analyse three-dimensional reinforced concrete shear wall structures subjected to earthquake motions. A shear wall is modelled as a quasi-three dimensional structure which is composed of plane elements consider
