The non-linear random response of beams is investigated using a \(p\)-version finite element formulation in conjunction with the method of equivalent linearization. Root-mean-square maximum stresses and deflections are computed for beams with both ends simply supported or clamped, for the case of a

โฆ Synopsis
Akstract--This paper investigates some of the design characteristics of explicit and implicit methods for parallel computers and suggests a hybrid approach which incorporates both methods. Several key issues are discussed as well as experiences in implementing all three methods. A range space/preconditioned conjugate gradient method is also discussed which has good potential for parallel implementation. It is concluded that the next generation parallel general purpose transient finite element systems should have the capability of handling all classes of structural analysis on a wide variety of shared/local memory parallel computers. An approach is outlined for the design of a future general purpose parallel finite element system.

By the DG method, both displacements and velocities are approximated as piecewise bilinear functions in space and time and may b
The dynamic response and stability of a single-degree-of-freedom system with unsymmetric piecewise-linear/non-linear stiffness are analyzed using the finite element method in the time domain. Based on a Hamilton's weak principle, this method provides a simple and efficient approach for predicting al
Conventional investigations of waves-seabed interaction problems have been only concerned with the soil response due to two-dimensional linear progressive waves over a uniform seabed. However, the effects of non-linear waves which have been reported in the literature may be significantly different.
