An advanced finite-element package, tailored to the static and dynamic analysis of radial impellers has been produced. Two families of new elements, one for thin and thick plates and the other for thin and thick ...

A three-dimensional method of stress analysis using finite element techniques is presented for determining the stress distribution in centrifugal impellers. It can treat all of the three types of loading possible in an ...

In this work an attempt has been made to develop theories for finite element static and dynamic stress analysis tailored for use with composite layered plates and shells in this way it was hoped to provide accurate ...
