Accuracy and stability of two-dimensional bilinear four-node and serendipity eightnode finite elements was tested in a wave propagation simulation. The influence of diffe [...]

Accuracy and stability analysis of mass matrix lumping schemes applicable to wave propagation is carried out. To this end, a variable parameter, x, is defined for the 8no [...]

Review of the dispersion properties of plane square bilinear finite element used in plane elastic wave propagation problems is presented. It is assumed the grid (spatial) [...]

Explicit integration plays a key role in many problems of linear and non-linear dynamics. For example, the finite element method applied to spatial discretization of con [...]

This work addresses three issues in computational modelling of contact-impact problems: i) overviews a contact algorithm proposed by these authors, ii) local search treat [...]

Artificial oscillations in contact force due to non-smooth contact surface are treated by isogeometric analysis (IGA). After brief overview of B-splines and Non-Uniform [...]

Mass matrix diagonalization in terms of a finite element method (FEM) is essential for an effective deployment of the explicit method as one of the direct integration me [...]

The secular equation for the surface (Rayleigh–edge) waves propagating in a thin semiinfinite anisotropic elastic continuum is derived. The secular equation is obtained [...]

In this paper, the spline variant of finite element method (FEM) is tested in one-dimensional elastic wave propagation problems. The special attention is paid to propaga [...]
