β¦ Synopsis
Accorsi has recently proposed a general method for modelling microstructural material discontinuities in a finite element analysis. In this work, it is shown that his method can be significantly simplified. In particular, the transformation strain (eigenstrain) plays no role in his application. Numerical results based on the simplified equations with %node and 9-node isoparametric elements are presented for the same examples as in his papers. The accuracy of the results is examined in comparison with the solution obtained from a complex mesh model.

A two-step preconditioning strategy is presented for the conjugate gradient (CG) iterative method to solve a large system of linear equations resulting from the use of edge-based finite-element discretizations of Helmholtz equations. The key idea is to combine both the factorized sparse approximate
This paper presents a variation of Biot's consolidation theory for analysing problems involving unsaturated soils, and implemented using the "nite element method. The numerical method is applied to a few geotechnical problems as examples and the results obtained are compared to some published data.
In this paper the application of the theorems of structural variation to finite element problems is presented and a simplified procedure for constant strain triangular elements is developed. Applications for these techniques are discussed.
