The activity of the solid Earth – for example, volcanoes in Java, earthquakes in Japan, etc – is well understood within the context of the ~50-year-old theory of plate tectonics. This theory posits ...
We implement a nonlinear rotation-free shell formulation capable of handling large deformations for applications in vascular biomechanics. The formulation employs a previously reported shell element ...
Finite element analysis (FEA) of shell structures encompasses the numerical simulation of thin‐walled, curved bodies subject to mechanical loads and environmental effects. Shell elements combine ...
