We address here some computational aspects of the natural-mode ยฎnite element method (NM-FEM), a technique recently developed by the authors for the analysis of arbitrary composite shells. We consider in particular a model problem comprising a 45a ร 45a0a90 S cylindrical composite shell with 2398 deg

## Abstract The extended finite element method (XFEM) is applied to the simulation of thermally stressed, cracked solids. Both thermal and mechanical fields are enriched in the XFEM way in order to represent discontinuous temperature, heat flux, displacement, and traction across the crack surface,
This paper addresses the problem of mechanical systems in which parameters are uncertain and bounded. Interval calculation is used to "nd an envelope of transfer functions for mechanical systems modelled with "nite elements. Within this context, a new formulation has been developed for "nite element
The efficiency and computational accuracy of the boundary element and finite element methods are compared in this paper. This comparison is carried out by employing different degrees of mesh refinement to solve a specific illustrative problem by the two methods.
