Equivalent 4-node enhanced assumed strain and hybrid stress shell elements in 6-parameter theory
PublikacjaWe discuss the equivalence of semi-enhanced assumed strain (EAS) and semi-hybrid stress (SEM) shell finite elements. We use the general nonlinear 6-field shell theory with kinematics composed of generalized displacements composed of the translation field and the rotation field. Due to the presence of rotation tensor the elements have naturally six nodal engineering degrees of freedom. We propose interpolation for a strain field...

Fractional Order Circuit Elements Derived from Electromagnetism
PublikacjaIn this paper, derivations of fractional-order (FO) circuit-element equations from electromagnetism are presented.
