Two methods are presented for connecting dissimilar three-dimensional ÿnite element meshes. The ÿrst method combines the concept of master and slave surfaces with the uniform strain approach for ÿnite elements. By modifying the boundaries of elements on a slave surface, corrections are made to eleme

In this paper, a Galerkin weighted residual finite element numerical solution method, with velocity material time derivative discretisation, is applied to solve for a classical fluid mechanics system of partial differential equations modelling two-dimensional stationary incompressible Newtonian flui
Extensions of a new technique for the ÿnite element modelling of cracks with multiple branches, multiple holes and cracks emanating from holes are presented. This extended ÿnite element method (X-FEM) allows the representation of crack discontinuities and voids independently of the mesh. A standard
Based on energy functional and with the inclusion of high-order incompatible dynamic displacement modes, a formulation for 3-D "nite dynamic element method (DEM) is developed and a new 8-node solid element is derived in this paper. Numerical results exhibit that the present method provides the most
