In this paper, a novel enriched three-node triangular element with the augmented
interpolation cover functions is proposed based on the original linear triangular element for …

In the present work, the enriched finite element method (EFEM) and virtual crack closure
technology (VCCT) are applied to model the fracture mechanics problems of structures …

In this work, uncertainty in fiber angles, laminate dimensions, and constituent material
properties of composite laminates is investigated to quantify their effects on the buckling …

An enhanced 3-node triangular flat shell element with 18 degrees of freedom according to
the Reissner–Mindlin theory is presented in this paper. New cell-based smoothed (CS) …

In this paper, we propose the strain-smoothed MITC3+ shell finite element. The membrane
strain field of the continuum mechanics based 3-node triangular shell element (MITC3+) is …

To improve the performance of the classical finite element method (FEM) in acoustic
analyses, in this work the interpolation cover functions are incorporated into the standard …

This study presents an isogeometric layerwise element, L-IGA based on the principle of
virtual displacement theory to model the bending behavior of laminated smart composite …

This paper introduces a new concept called self-updated finite element (SUFE). The finite
element (FE) is activated through an iterative procedure to improve the solution accuracy …

We propose a novel Gaussian quadrature, referred to as the learned Gaussian quadrature,
that is obtained by employing a supervised learning algorithm to find improved weights for …

Recently, the strain-smoothed element (SSE) method has been developed for 3-node
triangular and 4-node tetrahedral solid elements. The method was also applied for …
