Sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, a workshop on the boundary element
method (BEM) was held on the campus of the University of Akron during September 1–3 …

The frequency-dependent mass, elastic and geometric stiffness matrices of an axially loaded
Bernoulli-Euler beam are developed through rigorous application of symbolic computation …

Starting from the solutions of the governing differential equations of motion in free vibration,
the frequency dependent mass and stiffness matrices of bar and beam elements have been …

Earlier research on the development of explicit algebraic expressions for the elements of the
frequency-dependent mass, elastic and geometric stiffness matrices for free vibration …

The hybrid boundary element method, as based on the Hellinger‐Reissner potential for
assumed singular stress fields, is suited for the explicit mathematical description of high …

This paper brings an attempt toward the systematic solution of the generalized non‐linear,
complex‐symmetric eigenproblem (K0− iωC1− ω2M1− iω3C2− ω4M2−···) ϕ= 0, with real …

The frequency-dependent mass and stiffness matrices of a Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beam are
developed through extensive application of symbolic computation. Explicit algebraic …

The paper presents an attempt to consolidate a formulation for the general analysis of the
dynamic response of elastic systems. Based on the mode-superposition method, a set of …

A particular implementation of the hybrid boundary element method is presented for the two-
dimensional analysis of potential and elasticity problems, which, although general in …

The present developments result from the combination of the variationally-based, hybrid
