The analysis of the free-edge stress distributions in composite laminates under uniaxial tension is approached by a finite element technique based on a multi-layer higher-order laminate theory. Several finite elements corresponding to different through-thickness assumed distributions of the displac

The Boundary Finite Element Method for Stress Concentration Problems in Composite Laminates
The Boundary Finite Element Method is presented as a very efficient method for the analyses of stress concentration problems in laminates. Results for the free-edge stress field of symmetric cross-ply laminates show to be in very good agreement with comparative finite element analyses.

An iterative procedure is described for the finite-element solution of scalar scattering problems in unbounded domains. The scattering objects may have multiple connectivity, may be of different materials or with different boundary conditions. A fictitious boundary enclosing all the objects involved
The performance of three different stress recovery procedures, namely, the superconvergent patch recovery technique (SPR), the recovery by equilibrium in patches (REP) and a combined method known as the LP procedure is reviewed. Different order of polynomials and various patch formation strategies h
This paper presents a 3D body-conforming "nite element solution of the time-dependent vector wave equation. The method uses edge elements on tetrahedra for the electric "eld interpolation. This kind of element is suited to model Maxwell's equations since it only enforces tangential continuity of vec
