Indeed, these algorithms rely on estimating the gradient or Hessian of the objective function, based on a finite difference procedure (that is, evaluating small variations in the objective function resulting from small variations in its parameters).
In this study, a finite element procedure was developed to simulate the construction process of a CFRD, using the Zipingpu CFRD in China as an illustrative example.
Carnicero and Lopez-Garcia [37] adopt the nonlinear finite element procedure to establish the catenary model.
The matrix notation is used in formulating and solving problems using the finite element procedure.
For these purposes, a nonlinear finite element procedure is applied using pressure eigenforms as equivalent loads.
A consolidated single S N curve is obtained based on a systematic finite element procedure.
This model is solved by a time-stepping finite difference procedure, with a time step of 2 ~ 5 min.
Finally, numerical results performed by an incremental finite element procedure are presented.
