Sentence examples for distorted element from inspiring English sources

The three-dimensional finite element (FE) formulation based on the EAS method for composite structures shows excellence from the standpoints of computational efficiency, especially for distorted element shapes.

The EAS three-dimensional finite element (FE) formulation described in this paper, in comparison with the conventional approaches, is more attractive not only because it shows better accuracy but also it converges faster, especially for distorted element shapes.

This can lead to highly distorted elements, e.g. sliver elements, reducing the accuracy of solution.

A Lagrangian approach is adopted, interfacing the ESI/Pam-Crash solver code with an automatic trial-and-error procedure for the elimination of the excessively distorted elements.

Additionally, the distorted elements are identified from two aspects – self-piercing and phase change – and are deleted so that the constitutive computation can continue.

The element which has variable mid-side nodes and forms the transition zone between the refined and unrefined zones is efficiently used for constructing a refined mesh without generating distorted elements.

The inhomogeneities introduced in the mesh by changing material properties of dead cells led to distorted elements in large meshes.

Since pilot studies with changing mechanical properties of dead cells revealed that the necessary large deformations led to problems due to distorted elements, the effect of the change in mechanical properties is evaluated on a smaller mesh, only one quarter of the one shown in Fig. 3.

Finally, the internal mesh nodes are smoothed to correct distorted tetrahedral elements and thus preserve tetrahedral element quality.

Just as sixteenth-century Mannerists like Michelangelo distorted the elements of Renaissance architecture for greater effect, Venturi and Scott Brown play with modernism.

The efficiency and robustness of the formulated elements are demonstrated by solving few standard problems involving free vibration and dynamic response analysis with undistorted and distorted spectral elements, and the obtained results are compared with available results in the published literature.
