A variational multiscale a-posteriori error estimation method for nearly incompressible elasticity (2010-05-18)This work presents an error estimation framework for a mixed displacement-pressure finite element method for nearly incompressible elasticity that is based on variational multiscale concepts. The displacement field is ...

(University of Illinois Engineering Experiment Station. College of Engineering. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1980-05)Since current design practice often leads to slender and flexible buildings, the dynamic effects of the wind are of increasing importance. The purpose of this study was to develop a method for analyzing the three-dimensional ...
