The evolution of the Indian Ocean triple junction and the finite rotation problem
… and evolution of triple junctions and of the finite rotations of systems of three plates can yield significantly more accurate tectonic histories than can studies of the relative motions between two plates alone. Topographic and magnetic investigation of the Southwest Indian Ridge and …

A Geometrically nonlinear curved beam theory and its finite element formulation
… that the cross-section remains rigid, and its finite element formulation/implementation. The theory provides a theoretical view and an exact and efficient means to handle a large range of nonlinear beam problems. A geometrically exact curved/twisted beam theory, which assumes that the beam …

Dynamic analysis of a marine riser
… large three dimensional deflections and rotations are derived using modal discretization approach. The nonlinear expressions for the bending and torsional deformations are obtained for a beam undergoing finite rotations. The elastic strain energy is expressed in terms of these …
