Thin shell problems encountered in design are often difficult to analyse because of the complexity of the structural geometry and the complex nature of the constitutive equations. In addition, the engineer involved with designing this class of structure can find that the intuition and experience gained from more

NAFEMS has produced many benchmarks for the assessment of finite element systems. The presentation of these benchmarks is generally in the compact form of a single sheet, which defines the benchmark. This form of presentation is ideal for its purpose but does not show the difficult process and work that more

This report was produced under NAFEMS contract number NEL/F/520 at the request of the General Technology Working Group. The objective of the contract was to define principles and procedures for the evaluation of finite more

Shape Measuring Criteria And The Establishment Of Benchmark Tests For Single Membrane This is the summary report on the project initiated by NAFEMS to produce a set of single element benchmark tests and also to define a set of suitable shape parameters in order to be able more
