The stress-displacement-pressure formulation of the elasticity problem may suffer from two types of numerical instabilities related to the finite element interpolation of the unknowns. The first is ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 45, No. 2 (2007), pp. 746-769 (24 pages) We derive a new formula for the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution of stiffness matrices obtained by applying P₁ ...

Princeton's Dr. Jean H. Prévost and Serguei Bagrianski have released a book with World Scientific, entitled, An Introduction to Matrix Structural Analysis and Finite Element Methods. Based on a course ...

Under the Engineering Roadmap, Biocore and FRI—with funding support provided by the NFL—collaborated with partners at the University of Virginia, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, KTH Royal ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...
