Background and objective Biomechanical stresses and strains can be simulated in the optic
nerve head (ONH) using the finite element (FE) method, and various element types have …

In this paper, we present the formulations of two four-node quadrilateral membrane finite
elements with rotational degrees of freedom to analyze geometric linear and nonlinear …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to extend a recent unsymmetric 8-node, 24-DOF
hexahedral solid element US-ATFH8 with high distortion tolerance, which uses the …

A corotational finite element formulation for two‐dimensional beam elements with
geometrically nonlinear behavior is presented. The formulation separates the rigid body …

In this paper we seek refined yet efficient computational models of large overall motion in
statics and dynamics. The efficiency is achieved by the proposed model of 8-node brick …

The present work deals with an extended six-node prismatic 3D solid finite element to the
analysis of nonlinear geometrical problems. The kinematic formulation is based on a virtual …

The paper presents a four-node tetrahedral solid finite element SFR4 with rotational degrees
of freedom (DOFs) based on the Space Fiber Rotation (SFR) concept for modeling three …

In this work, the small-strain elastoplastic behavior of structures is analyzed using an
improved nonlinear finite element formulation. In this framework, an eight-node quadrilateral …

In this paper, the earlier formulation of the eight-node hexahedral SFR8 element is extended
in order to analyze material nonlinearities. This element stems from the so-called Space …

Plant fibre composites are a viable and approved increasing substitute to traditional
materials due to their sustainability, low cost and adequate strength. Currently they gain a …
