This paper presents an overview of the finite-element (FE) absolute nodal coordinate
formulation (ANCF), provides justifications for its use, and discusses issues relevant to its …

In this paper, beam elements with particular emphasis on higher-order elements based on
the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) are thoroughly investigated from the …

Due to the lack of advanced models and analytical methods, the study of pipe conveying
fluid usually only considers the in-plane vibration of straight pipe. In order to fully understand …

To describe the particular mechanical behaviors of beams with both uniform and non-
uniform cross sections, such as the bidirectional bending, torsion-bending coupling, the …

This paper proposes a new locking alleviation technique for absolute nodal coordinate
formulation (ANCF) beam and plate elements based on a strain split approach. The paper …

The absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) is a nonlinear finite element approach
proposed for the large deformation dynamics analysis of beam-and plate/shell-type …

Achilles sub-tendons are materially and geometrically challenging structures that can nearly
undergo around 15% elongation from their pre-twisted initial states during physical activities …

This work introduces a surface-to-surface contact description in the context of beam-to-beam
contact. The introduced contact description is formulated in the frame work of the absolute …

In the present paper, a three-dimensional shear deformable beam finite element is
presented, which is based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). The …

This study thoroughly examines various higher-order three and four-node beam elements
for use in the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). The paper carefully …
