A three dimensional solution of the transient field problem suing isoparametric finite elements.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1972-12)
An isoparametric finite element formulation solving a
general form of the transient field equation is presented in
this thesis. The formulation is developed for fields in
three-dimensional Euclidean space. A FORTRAN IV ...
Non-numerical applications of computer programming in the construction of problem oriented languages.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-12)
A discussion of several non-numerical techniques that are useful in FORTRAN programming is presented. The use of these techniques is then illustrated with a problem oriented language called CAL-NPS. This last program is ...
Stress concentration in fibrous composite material
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1975-06)
This thesis work involves an initial study on Stress
Concentration caused by holes out of center in thin plates
of finite width made of Unidirectional and Crossply Fiberglass
Composites.
The results are reported under ...
The modeling and analysis of an elastic mechanism with clearances
(Monterey, California ; Naval Postgraduate School, 1971-12)
The classical approach for the analysis of linkages has been to assume rigid elements during operation. As the operational speeds of mechanisms increase, this assumption creates larger errors in the analysis. Thus a better ...
Stiffness of stepped bars
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1974-12)
The stiffness of stepped bars is determined by calculating deflections due to applied loads using the finite element method. Nine combinations of step height and fillet radius are studied for each of the following cases: ...
An investigation of initial yield surfaces for unidirectional reinforced composites.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1972-03)
Initial yield surfaces of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites subjected to combined longitudinal, transverse normal, and longitudinal shear loads are calculated. The composite is composed of filaments arranged in ...
Consistent stresses for the finite element stiffness method
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1972-12)
Conjugate basic functions which are continuous throughout a model are used to approximate a stress field. This conjugate approximation has less mean error than approximations calculated using conventional finite element ...
Finite element solution of the nonlinear coupled neutronic-energy equations for a fast reactor fuel cell.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1976-12)
A transient overpower (TOP) accident in a Liquid Metal
Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) is considered. The analysis
is formulated to model the dynamic response of the reactor
fuel subassembly during the initial period of ...
