## Abstract This work presents a threeβdimensional rigid plastic finite element formulation. The workpiece is discretized with eight node hexahedral isoparametric elements. Friction is included in the formulation by means of a shear stress depending on the relative velocity between the workpiece an

## Abstract A set of derived data structure algorithms for unstructured finite element meshes is presented. Both serial and parallel algorithms are described for each data structure. Colouring groups for the elements are used to facilitate parallelization on shared memory architectures. Scaling stu
## Abstract This paper, presented in three parts, discusses a computational methodology for formβfinding of tension membrane structures (TMS), or fabric structures, used as roofing forms. The term βformβfindingβ describes a process of finding the shape of a TMS under its initial tension. Such a sha
