Author:Long, Craig S; Loveday, Philip W; Groenwold, AADate:Jan 2009Two new solid-of-revolution axisymmetric finite elements, which account for hoop fibre rotations, are introduced. The first is based on an irreducible formulation, with only displacement and rotation fields assumed independently. The second ...Read more
Author:Suliman, Ridhwaan; Oxtoby, Oliver F; Malan, AG; Kok, SDate:Jul 2012This work details the development of a computational tool that can accurately model strongly-coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems, with a particular focus on thin-walled structures undergoing large, non-linear deformations. The ...Read more
Author:Suliman, Ridhwaan; Oxtoby, Oliver F; Malan, AG; Kok, SDate:Jan 2011A strongly coupled finite volume-finite element fluid-structure interaction (FSI) scheme is developed. Both an edge-based finite volume and Galerkin finite element scheme are implemented and evaluated for modelling the mechanics of solids. ...Read more
Author:Suliman, Ridhwaan; Oxtoby, Oliver F; Malan, AG; Kok, SDate:Jan 2010This paper presents the formulation, implementation and evaluation of an enhanced matrix free edge-based finite volume approach to model the mechanics of solids undergoing large non-linear deformations. The developed technology is evaluated ...Read more
