A clearer insight into the ‘shear locking’ phenomenon, which appears in the development of
C 0 continuous element using shear‐flexible or penalty type formulations, is obtained by a …

A Galerkin finite element method is presented, for studying non-linear vibrations of beams
describable in terms of moderately large bending theory. The transverse displacement term w …

Bibliometric research assessment has matured into a quantitative phase using more
meaningful measures and analogies. In this paper, we propose a thermodynamic analogy and …

This book is not intended to be a text-book, delineating the full scope of finite element
methodology, nor is it a comprehensive handbook of modern finite element practice for the finite …

… sequence of indicators of performance (Prathap 2011b): … Prathap (2011a, b) showed that the
indicator X = i 2 P can be thought … leads to a trinity of second order terms (Prathap 2011a, b): …

In this paper, an attempt is made to understand the errors arising in curved finite elements
which undergo both flexural and membrane deformations. It is shown that with elements of …

Early attempts to derive curved beam and shell elements in a curvilinear system were
dramatically unsuccessful. This was wrongly attributed to the failure of these elements to recover …

A second spectrum of frequencies was reported in early analytical work on the vibrations of
Timoshenko beams. However, in subsequent finite element modelling this phenomenon was …

A three‐noded curved beam element with transverse shear deformation, based on independent
isoparametric quadratic interpolations, is designed from field‐consistency principles. It is …

The institutions belonging to the higher education sector taken together are the biggest
contributor to India's academic research output. In this article we use the datasets from the 2013 …
