In this paper, we propose a method that employs deep learning, an artificial intelligence
technique, to generate stiffness matrices of finite elements. The proposed method is used to …

The paper presents a review on large deflection behavior of curved beams, as manifested
through the responses under static loading. The term large deflection behavior refers to the …

This research is aimed to develop an efficient and high-performance four-node iso-
parametric beam element, which is composed of Functionally Graded Material (FGM). In …

Geometrically exact beams with torsion-warping deformation are studied. With three-
dimensional finite strains, the Wagner effects as well as initial curvature and twist are taken …

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 …

We present the large displacement and rotation formulation of the new MITC4+ shell finite
element recently proposed by Ko, Lee and Bathe for linear analysis (Ko et al., 2017) and …

We present a geometrically nonlinear finite element formulation for analysis of functionally
graded 3D beams. The proposed formulation employs the continuum mechanics based …

A finite-element based absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) is applied to dynamic
analysis of high-speed rotating shafts. To this end, a four-node higher-order ANCF beam …

This study presents a multi-director continuum beam finite element developed for efficient
analysis of multi-layer strand cables. The beam element is derived from the continuum …

In this study, we present continuum mechanics based beam elements for linear and
nonlinear analyses of multi-layered composite beams with interlayer slips. Nonlinear …
