Development of the Velocity Transformation Function of Damped Flat Shell Finite Element for the Experimental Spatial Dynamics Modeling
… Vibrometer (SLDV). In ESDM process, a finite element formulation is used to construct a numerical model of a structure. A conventional finite element such as rod, beam, or plate element, can be used to construct the numerical model of a structure from its mid-plane. In this research, the …

Development and Applications of a Flat Triangular Element for Thin Laminated Shells
Finite element analysis of laminated shells using a three-noded flat triangular shell element is presented. The flat shell element is obtained by combining the Discrete Kirchhoff Theory (DKT) plate bending element and a membrane element similar to the Allman element, but derived from the Linear …

Geometrically-Linear and Nonlinear Analysis of Linear Viscoelastic Composites Using the Finite Element Method
… requires a numerical approach such as the finite element method. In the present work, a triangular flat shell element for linear elastic composites is extended to model linear viscoelastic composites. Although polymers are usually modeled as being incompressible, here they are modeled as …

Refined theories and Discontinuous Galerkin methods for the analysis of multilayered composite structures
… multilayered composite and sandwich plates and shells are widely used for military and civilian aircraft, aerospace vehicles, and naval and civil structures because of their high specific stiffness and strength and tailoring capabilities. Moreover, composite materials are increasingly adopted …
