Since both are defined in the same conforming space of nodal displacements, the generalized element eigenvalues can be computed straight-forward.
Both problems are analyzed using the proposed method and FE models based on generalized beam elements, composite shell elements and 3D solid elements for different end support conditions and heights.
Vibration frequencies predicted from the proposed reference-plane formulation were shown to agree well with the results from FE models based on generalized beam elements, composite shell elements, and 3D solid elements.
In order to verify the proposed formulation, we considered FE modelling of beams based on generalized beam elements, composite shell elements and 3D solid elements that are able to accurately capture the effect of end support height position on vibration frequencies.

The more generalized mentoring elements of programs like NAMP, Bridge, and McNair Scholars are accompanied in many instances by exposure of underrepresented minority students to hands-on research experience.
We further eliminate the cost and complexity associated with mesh generation by applying the interface-enriched generalized finite element method (IGFEM), which allows a non-conforming mesh to capture the discontinuous temperature gradient across the microchannels.
The generalized finite element code is base on a continuous isoparametric Lagrangian finite element with seven degrees of freedom per node.
This paper describes a pilot design and implementation of the generalized finite element method (GFEM), as a direct extension of the standard finite element method (SFEM, or FEM), which makes possible the accurate solution of engineering problems in complex domains which may be practically impossible to solve using the FEM.
The numerical solution is obtained with the interface-enriched generalized finite element method (IGFEM), which greatly simplifies mesh generation by allowing for the use of a non-conforming mesh to capture the temperature gradient discontinuity across the microchannels.
