Pipe installations are widely used in many industrial applications, particularly in oil, water, natural gas distribution and chemical industry. Although there are many di [...]

This paper presents a study on quantitative prediction and understanding of timeharmonic wave characteristics in damped plates. Material dissipation is modelled by using [...]

One approach to the numerical analysis of complex waveguides is the Wave Finite Element (WFE) method. In this method conventional Finite Elements (FEs) are used to discre [...]

Reduction of large size Finite Element models is a common technique in dynamic analysis. In particular validation of Finite Element models requires comparison between the [...]

Numerical prediction of wave characteristics of a helically wire–reinforced pipe is obtained using a Wave Finite Element method. The Wave Finite Element method combines [...]

This paper describes a wave and finite element (WFE) method for the numerical prediction of wave propagation in axisymmetric structures. A small segment of the structure [...]
