Computer-integrated finite element modeling and simulation of human middle ear.
(2001)The work reported in this dissertation is the result of a joint venture of biomedical scientists and engineers for understanding human middle ear mechanics through finite element modeling and analysis. The main objective ... -
A framework-based finite element approach for solving large deformation problems in multi-phase porous media.
(2005)The performance of the uniform gradient element formulation is studied by simulating settlement of a footing and dynamic behavior of a saturated clay embankment and a level ground. Significant hourglassing is seen for the ... -
A practicing engineer's perspective on nonlinear finite element analysis techniques for reinforced concrete structures.
(2004)The research demonstrates the continued progress in finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures. Increasingly, structural engineers will use this method in their designs, and in research into materials and systems. -
Three-dimensional finite element modeling of two-phase fluid flow in deformable naturally fractured reservoirs.
(1998)The developed theoretical formulation and numerical model are validated against several cases where the analytical solutions or other model results are readily available. The performance of the numerical code is tested ... -
Vorticity-based estimation of vertical velocities from radar data: Accuracy and sensitivity.
(2007)In this thesis, we make use of the weak formulation of the vorticity equation and the mass continuity equation to calculate the vertical component, w, of the wind field V&ar; , given the two horizontal components u and ...
