    Notes: Summary The effects of alprenolol on heart rate and systolic blood pressure were studied in healthy subjects during standardized exercise on a bicycle ergometer. In one series of experiments, in which serum concentrations of alprenolol were also measured, the effects of single oral doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg of alprenolol and a placebo were compared by a double blind cross-over technique. In a second series of experiments 100 mg alprenolol was given four times in one day and the effect was followed for up to eighteen hours after the last dose. — Alprenolol diminished the expected increase in heart rate and systolic blood pressure during exercise. The reduction of exercise tachycardia in a given individual was linearly related to the logarithm of the dose or the serum concentration of alprenolol. The serum concentrations required for a given reduction of exercise tachycardia varied almost one hundred-fold amongst the subjects studied. The biological availability of alprenolol was dose-dependent, probably due to a limited capacity biotransformation of the drug before it entered the general circulation. After a single dose the serum level of alprenolol and its chronotropic effect diminished at a rate corresponding to an elimination half life of about two hours. This rate of elimination was consistent with that calculated from the results of the four dose study.

    Notes: Summary A dose of 1.0 g (10.0–14.0 mg/kg body weight) of pralidoxime mixed with various cholinolytics was given by i.m. injection to 29 healthy male subjects. A concentration of pralidoxime in blood of 4 µg/ml was reached after 5 to 10 min with all the mixtures and was maintained for about 1 to 2 h. The calculated half lives of pralidoxime in three groups of subjects were 62.2, 60.0 and 61.8 min., respectively. — The urinary excretions of pralidoxime during the first 4 h after the injections averaged 75.0, 79.6 and 69.6 per cent, respectively, of the total amount given. — The results are compared with published information about similar oximes.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of sulphamethoxazole (SMZ) and trimethoprim (TMP) have been investigated in four healthy volunteers, 15 patients with stable chronic renal failure and 3 patients on regular dialysis. The dosage schedule was 400 mg of SMZ and 80 mg of TMP orally every 12 h. The plasma concentrations and urinary excretion have been analysed in terms of a one compartment open model, allowing for elimination by renal excretion and metabolic processes. — At equilibrium the plasma concentrations of unchanged sulphonamide showed no significant correlation with the degree of renal impairment. The accumulation of TMP increased slightly without affecting the concentration ratio of both agents in plasma. In contrast, increasing accumulation of metabolized SMZ was demonstrated in the presence of renal insufficiency. Indirect evidence indicates that rising metabolite levels under these circumstances may lead to a displacement of unchanged sulphonamide from protein binding sites. — The cumulative urinary excretion amounted to 82.4% of the dose of sulphonamide administered, which probably corresponds to the fraction of the compound absorbed. The urinary concentration of biologically active SMZ was slightly below the plasma level, especially in advanced renal failure, but it remained above the minimum inhibitory concentrations reported in the literature. The concentration of TMP in urine was considerably higher than in plasma, it decreased with loss of renal function as did active SMZ.

    Notes: Summary Gas chromatographic methods are described for the assay of amobarbital and pentobarbital in 500 µl samples of plasma, in concentrations down to 250 ng/ml. After ether extraction at pH 5.5, the barbiturates are reextracted into an alkaline solution of trimethylanilinium hydroxide and are determined quantitatively by gas chromatography as their dimethylated derivatives. The method has been used successfully in volunteers receiving therapeutic doses of these bariturates.

    Notes: Summary Plasma levels and urinary excretion of3H-fentanyl were studied in 5 human subjects after intravenous injection of this drug. After an initial rapid decline, the plasma level of fentanyl decreased slowly and approximately exponentially. The plasma concentration of metabolites remained almost steady from 1–3 h after injection. More than 60% of the administered radioactivity was excreted through the kidneys within 4 days. Only a small proportion of it was unchanged fentanyl. The rates of fall of plasma concentration and of urinary excretion were slower in man than in rabbits. — The time courses of plasma concentrations and of urinary excretion were simulated on an analogue computer. The results support the assumption that the different time courses of concentrations in man and rabbits are caused by slower metabolism in man. It seems likely that redistribution plays a dominant part in the short duration of action of fentanyl in man.

    Notes: Summary The various steps of a paper disc micromethod for quantitative determination of plasma concentrations of antibiotics is described. Only 10 µl of plasma is needed for a single determination, allowing easy and repeated capillary sampling. Separate assay was attempted of three antibiotics in a mixture (streptomycin, cloxacillin and ampicillin), both by use of selective inhibitors (semicarbazide, penicillinase) in the culture medium and by choosing suitable strains of bacteria. In this way, it was possible to determine streptomycin and cloxacillin separately when all three antibiotics were present simultaneously in the plasma. The assay of ampicillin, however, was always influenced by the presence of even small concentrations of cloxacillin. The 95% confidence intervals of the standard curves for the three antibiotics are presented. — The method is suitable both for pharmacokinetic studies and for routine clinical control of plasma antibiotic levels, even in premature children.

    Notes: Two methods for the numerical evaluation of orthogonal damping matrices are developed. The first relates the modal damping ratios to the coefficients of the Caughey series. The second is a direct approach which expresses the damping matrix as a sum of a series of matrices each of which produces damping in a particular mode. It is found that the direct approach is more convenient to apply and is less numerically sensitive than the series approach.

    Notes: A mixed triangular finite element model has been developed for plate bending problems in which effects of shear deformation are included. Linear distribution for all variables is assumed and the matrix equation is obtained through Reissner's variational principle. In this model, interelement compatibility is completely satisfied whereas the governing equations within the element are satisfied ‘in the mean’. A detailed error analysis is made and convergence of the scheme is proved. Numerical examples of thin and moderately thick plates are presented.

    Notes: This paper presents a sector shape of an element ideally suited for the analysis of sectorial and annular plates. A conforming function with twenty degrees of freedom is developed in polar co-ordinates to represent the deformation of the element in bending. The finite element method is applied to some plate bending problems to illustrate the power and efficiency of sector elements.

    Notes: Five previously employed numerical methods for the solution of Orr-Sommerfeld problems have been compared to each other and to a new method, the differential method of near-orthonormalized integration. Brief summaries of each method are included. The comparison, based on seven factors, reflects the results of an implementation of a computer program for each method for the classic Orr-Sommerfeld problem of plane Poiseuille flow. This comparison shows that the new method and the algebraic finite difference method are currently the best available numerical solution methods for the problems in this class, with the new method being less problem dependent.

    Notes: In this paper, a method is described which allows a direct derivation of a set of first-order finite difference equations to numerically compute the motion of any conservative or non-conservative dynamic system with a finite number of degrees of freedom. The derivation of the method is based on an application of Lagrangian multipliers to a functional form of Hamilton's equations, and reduces the work required to obtain the most desirable form for numerical integration from the standpoint of computational efficiency and accuracy. For systems with many degrees of freedom, the required matrix inversions produce first derivatives of the co-ordinates, instead of second derivatives, thus eliminating a potential source of error in numerical integration. Two examples are given to illustrate the method.

    Notes: This paper presents the derivation of the stiffness matrix for a lumped parameter hyperbolic paraboloid shell element. This element is used to obtain solutions to hyperbolic paraboloid shells with various edge conditions. Numerical example for three types of support conditions (a simple support, a clamped edge and a shell supported by concentric edge beams) are presented. To illustrate the applicability of the method, the results obtained by the lumped parameter element are compared with those obtained by well-known methods of analysis such as the variational procedure, the finite difference and the finite element method.

    Notes: The convergence proof of plate eigenvalue solution from conforming displacement finite elements is presented. The analysis is based on converting a thick plate free vibration problem in to a corresponding isoperimetric variational problem. A conforming thick, plate element is used to illustrate the mathematical development. On the basis of the derived asymptotic rate of convergence of the approximate eigenvalues, the authors propose a practical method of improving the numerical solutions. Extension of the mathematical proof to cover classical thin plate finite elements is briefly discussed.

    Notes: Two-dimensional stagnation point flow of a viscous fluid is modified by the introduction of a thin plate placed symmetrically at the stagnation point. Separation of the boundary layer results in back flow near the plate even at small Reynolds numbers. The Navier-Stokes equations governing the flow are replaced by finite differences using unequal net spacing which is finer in the boundary layer. The choice of finite differences guarantees convergence of the iterative procedures used. Only those relaxation parameters, which are necessary to obtain convergence and also to make the method computationally efficient, have been used. Numerical results for Reynolds numbers 9, 100 and 400 are obtained.

    Notes: A mixed variational formulation is used as basis for developing a mixed finite element method for axisymmetric shell. The independent unknowns of the method are the axial and radial displacement components, the rotation of the normal to the middle surface and the meridional bending stress couple. The basic element is a frustrum of curved meridian. General advantages of the mixed method are presented, one of which is the possibility of using piece-wise linear functions of the meridional arclength to represent the basic unknowns. Test results are presented for plate bending, transverse shear deformation, membrane behaviour, edge-zone bending, bending near the junction of two shells, convergence of the method and accuracy of middle surface curvature interpolation. Shell geometries considered are cylindrical, conical, spherical and ellipsoidal. Good results are obtained which should increase interest in the relatively less known and less tested mixed method as compared to the stiffness method.

The method can be applied to general models of viscoelasticity described by the Boltzmann superposition principle, with relaxation or creep functions given analytically or numerically in the time or the frequency domain.

    Notes: A new way of estimating critical damping in dynamic relaxation is proposed using the concept of a mass-dependant load vector, a postulate concerning vibrations and Rayleigh's principle. The method should be particularly appealing in those not uncommon circumstances where the actual loads are approximately proportional to the masses for then the computer time required in evaluating the various constants would actually be a part of the problem-solving time.

    Notes: An iterative procedure of structural optimization is discussed that combines finite element analysis with the use of explicit optimality conditions. The procedure is illustrated by examples concerning sandwich beams with constraints on the deflection at a specified section, the maximum deflection or the sum of the maximum deflection in all spans of a continuous beam. The examples suggest that, starting from a uniform beam, by far the greatest saving in weight is obtained in the first two or three iterations.

    Notes: The finite element technique is extended to an ideal gaseous mixture to study diffusion of several gaseous species in a carrier gas under various geometries and flow conditions. This is accomplished by obtaining the finite element analog of the balance of mass for each species, along with the corresponding equations for the balance of mass, momentum and energy for the mixture. Numerical results are obtained for a steady-state, incompressible, isothermal, viscous mixture of two gases for several boundary conditions. Favourable agreement is obtained between the finite element results and analytical solutions.

    Notes: It is shown that isoparametric finite elements with derivative degrees of freedom of second order or higher in the local curvilinear space demand an excessive number of degrees of freedom in the global space. To illustrate this limitation as it pertains to the continued development of higher order elements, discussion is centered around the general hexahedron element.

    Notes: The constitutive equation is assumed in a very general form which includes as special cases non-linear creep, incremental elasto-plasticity as well as viscoelasticity represented by a chain of n standard solid models. Subdividing the structure into N finite elements, the problem of structural analysis is formulated with a system of 6N(n + 1) ordinary non-linear first-order differential equations in terms of the components of stresses and strains in the elements. This formulation enables one to apply Runge-Kutta methods or the predictor-corrector methods.

    Notes: Some elements commonly used for analysis are examined for examined for completeness of polynomial interpolation and computational efficiency. Extensions to n-dimensional space are shown to be natural consequences of the interpolation, thus all elements considered here allow for finite element approximation in higher than three-dimensional spaces (e.g. space-time interpolations). From the study it is concluded that ‘serendipity’ class elements from the most efficient elements up to third-degree polynomial approximations. The method used here to develop the serendipity shape functions allows for different orders of interpolation along each edge. Thus, in zones where high accuracy is required meshes can now be easily changed from linear to quadratic or higher-order elements. Computations on some simple problems have demonstrated this to be a superior method than using large numbers of low ordered elements.

    Notes: The application of the high precision triangular plate bending element to problems with curved boundaries is considered. Appropriate edge conditions for nodal points on these boundaries are derived. The error inherent in representing the shape of a curved boundary by a series of straight segments is found to be the limiting factor on accuracy, while the effect of approximations in the actual boundary conditions is minor. To overcome the first type of error, the high precision element is modified to include one curved edge. Substantial improvements in accuracy are obtained, as demonstrated in example calculations for circular and elliptical plates.

    Notes: By formulating the potential boundary value problems in terms of physical (in contrast to purely mathematical) variables, the existence of dual energy principles may be clearly distinguished. In direct analogy with elasticity, two possible energy methods present themselves giving rise to two possible finite element procedures. General upper and lower bounds on an energy quantity may be obtained, which in the case of seepage become the total seepage rate for a certain class of seepage problem. For this case of seepage the derivation of the finite element procedure and the computing of the bounds is described.

    Notes: This paper formulates the viscoelastic problem so as to allow the use of higher-order differential equation solution techniques. Viscoelastic models describing the functional relationships of stress and strain for the material are used. However, the procedure outline is valid for more general relationships. The advantages of using Runge-Kutta integration formulae are indicated and an example demonstrates the excellent results obtainable. The computational efficiency of the method is emphasized and error prediction is discussed.

    Notes: It is shown that the Helmholtz equation in three dimension leads to finite element approximations on tetrahedral elements that closely resemble the corresponding two-dimensional treatment on triangle. For each polynomial order, there exist two numeric universal matrices independent to tetrahedron size and shape; the element matrices are always given as linear combinations of row and column permutations of these. Numeric matrices are given up to third-order, and the permutation schemes are shown in detail. Experimental computer programs using these elements have shown fast matrix assembly times; convergence rates are essentially similar to those obtained with the corresponding triangular elements.

    Notes: A method is presented for the derivation of displacement fields which satisfy compatibility of normal slopes at inter-element boundaries and the condition of internal equilibrium. The displacement field is obtained by integrating the governing partial differential equation over the element, using the initial value approach. The method is applied to calculate the stiffness matrix of a triangular bending element with nine degrees of freedom. Comparison with published solutions based on various element models shows a high degree of accuracy and convergence of the method. The advantage of internal equilibrium is illustrated by an example involving slab-column interaction. The solution correlates satisfactorily with existing experimental results.

    Notes: A generalized eigenvalue algorithm is presented herein along with the complete listing of the associated computer program, which may be conveniently utilized for the efficient solution of certain broad classes of eigenvalue problems. Extensive applications of the procedure are envisaged in the analysis of many important engineering problems, such as stability and natural frequency analysis of practical discrete structural systems, idealized by the finite element technique. The procedure based on the Sturm sequence method is accurate and fast, possessing several significant advantages over other known methods of such analysis. Numerical results are also presented for two representative structural engineering problems.

    Notes: A finite element incremental stiffness formulation for determining finite displacement flexure behaviour of thin elastic plates is presented. The solution of the finite displacement problems is based on a piecewise linear incremental approach. The procedural aspects of the incremental approach, the control of incremental sizes and the accuracy of the incremental approximation are investigated. The details concerning how to obtain in-plane stresses and how to treat edge conditions are discussed. Results include rectangular plates under lateral pressure with various edge conditions and aspect ratios. The laterally loaded plate with edges movable in the plane of the plate is also treated.

    Notes: The problem of the elastica is generalized to include the effect if shear as well as axial strain. This leads to a non-linear two-point boundary-value problem composed of five first-order differential equations. At first the problem is linearized to study the way in which the bucking loads are modified by the combination of effects. For a simple column, the eigenvalues are found to be zeros of a third-order polynomial, and these are evaluated by a straightforward Newton-Raphson technique using a digital computer. The postbucking behaviour is then studied by using the computer and a ‘shooting’ method to solve the non-linear problem. For the special case of the prismatic column, graphs plotted by the computer are displayed to show the variation of load with both lateral and axial deflection for various combinations of axial compressibility and shear deformability. For one particular case, the deflected center line at various load levels is shown.

    Notes: The task of optimum design of structures is one that involves non-linear Programming. This is particularly the case when deflection as well as stress limitation are imposed as design criteria. In this paper a Fundamental approach is presented for the minimum weight design of statically indeterminate elastic structure subject to non-linear deflection and stress constrains.The matrix force method is adopted to formulate the problem. The constraints thus derived prove to have separable variables and therefore can be linearized in a piecewise manner. The computation aspects concerning the restricted entry in to the simplex tableau are briefly discussed and illustrative examples are given to verify the validity of the proposed method.

    Notes: This paper describes a numerical method for solving first-order coupled matrix differential equations. Recursive equations are used to find ‘reflection’, ‘transmission’ and ‘source’ coefficients; these coefficients are then used to construct the vector solution to the differential equations. The method can be used to solve linear and non-linear differential equations with specified initial or two-point boundary values. Numerical results for several initial value problems are given in the paper.

    Notes: This paper describes a very fast numerical method for solving the full dynamical equations governing the motion of the crankshaft and, as an example, the method is used to calculate the effect of clearance tolerance on the performance of a typical bearing. It was found that the minimum film thickness is not greatly affected by the clearance tolerance, suggesting that a fair degree of variation of clearance can be allowed.

    Notes: A finite difference method for solving mixed initial and boundary value problems governed by hyperbolic partial differential equations is described. The method has been developed specifically to calculate the flow field associated with any arbitrary two-dimensional or axi-symmetric body placed in a uniform supersonic stream. In order to preserve accuracy in the neighborhood of the body surface, the equations governing the motion are formulated so that 1Streamlines form one system of co-ordinate curves.2Two of the equations of motion correspond to characteristic relations.The boundary condition at the body is applied by omitting the equation associated with the characteristic curve reaching the body surface from inside. The method presented is a pseudo-viscous method and flow fields which include shock waves can be treated with ease. The method has been used to calculate the flow past a particular axi-symmetric waisted body. The shape of this body is such that a secondary internal shock wave is generated by coalescence of Mach lines behind the bow shock wave. The results obtained are compared with theoretical and experimental results obtained by other workers. The investigation has been carried out as part of a programme of work needed to validate the pseudo-viscous method used.

    Notes: Two variations of an iterative scheme are presented for the solution to algebraic eigensystems. These algorithms are used in conjunction with the method of reduced generalized co-ordinates so that n number of frequencies and mode shapes are obtained simultaneously. The bases of the scheme are the well-known results of Stodola-Vianello and Gram-Schmidt. Advantages of the present schemes are realized both in computational effort and in computer storage. Examples are presented to illustrate the convergence characteristics.

    Notes: The finite element method is applied to the free transverse vibration of circular and annular plates of varying thickness. An annular element is derived which incorporates the number of diametral modes in the deflection function. This results in an element having only four degrees of freedom, these being the deflection and slopes at the inner and outer radii of the element at an anti-node of the particular vibration mode. Thickness variation in the radial direction is readily introduced, and stiffness and inertia matrices are presented for elements with linear and parabolic variations in thickness.The method is checked with several numerical examples. Calculations of free vibration of circular and annular plates of constant, linear and parabolic thickness variation are compared with available exact solutions.

    Notes: An efficient digital computer method is presented for the determination of propagation of elastic stresses and deformations in certain geometrically non-linear structures subjected to high impact loading. The finite element matrix displacement approach utilizing curved quadrilateral shell elements in conjunction with a nodewise predictor-corrector method employing Runge-Kutta extrapolation techniques has been adopted for the present solution.The related computer program written in FORTRAN V for the UNIVAC 1108 computer has proved to be effective for the solution of a range of practical problems including rectangular and cylindrical panels. Numerical results are presented for a relevant structure, the cell container and the negative electrode of an impact-resistant battery subjected to high impact, simulating its free landing on a planetary surface.

    Notes: Two FORTRAN IV subroutines that generate the stiffness, mass and geometric matrices for plate bending and plane stress elements using displacement models are described. The elements can be of either rectangular or triangular shape with anisotropic properties together with a linear variation in thickness. Although such a formulation is straightforward theoretically, emphasis has been placed on the programming technique where the amount of algebra involved in the matrix manipulations is avoided. Exact integration is automatically performed since a closed-form solution con be obtained.

    Notes: Plane stress structures of any shape and boundary conditions are simulated by finite element models with homogeneous stress and strain fields in each element. Besides the given live loads, dead loads (such as self-weight) depending on the unknown thickness distribution are allowed for. Possible practical requirements on geometry (minimum thickness, areas of equal thickness, areas of thickness variation in a prescribed way) are taken into account. Yield surfaces of the materials are piecewise linearized. On this basis the minimum weight design problem is formulated in terms of a linear program. This program is dualized and the pair of dual programming problems is discussed. The mechanical interpretation leads to the generalization of some known limit design theory results.Some numerical examples are given at the end.

    Notes: A ring type finite element model based on the discrete Kirchhoff hypothesis is developed and its feasibility for use in shell analysis is illustrated by determining the linear axisymmetric deformation behaviour of a conical shell loaded by lateral pressure. The displacement field is represented by a linear function of the meridional co-ordinate. The effects of coupling between bending and extension are included and in this respect the analysis is an extension of earlier work by other investigators using this same model, where bending deformations only were considered. The results of the investigation indicate that the proposed model is capable of accurately described coupled bending and extension effects with a relatively small number of elements. In addition to the numerical results obtained several distinct advantages and disadvantages of this element are brought out. In particular, the element stiffness coefficients can be easily derived because of the simplicity of the assumed vector field. However, it appears that the price paid for such a simple vector field approximation is an undue amount of machine storage, even for a relatively small number of elements. Several suggestions are made for minimizing some of these difficulties.

    Notes: The accuracy and convergence properties of two new Timoshenko beam finite elements are compared to those now widely used. Both of the new elements are consistently derived from a variational principle written in terms of the transverse beam deflection and normal rotation. The deflection is expanded as a cubic and the rotation as a quadratic in the axial co-ordinate of the beam, giving rise to a seven degrees of freedom element. The first element, called TIM7, includes all the degrees of freedom while the second, called TIM4, reduces this number to four through a constraint introduced by Egle. Both elements display monotonic covergence for beam natural frequencies as a function of the number of degrees of freedom and both will give the analyst some measure of confidence in response calculations for beams excited at high frequencies.

    Notes: Two general quadrilateral elements for plate bending are developed. Each has 12 degrees of freedom and accounts for transverse shear deformation effects. Each is built from four triangular elements whose properties are derived by the assumed-stress hybrid approach. Matrices needed to generate the stiffness properties of the triangular elements are explicitly stated so as to facilitate their use. Numerical test cases, in which shear deformation effects range from negligible to very important, are used to illustrate the behaviour of the elements. It is concluded that the simpler of the two quadrilaterals is one of the best plate elements currently available.

The governing equations are solved by third-order Runge-Kutta procedure and losses in head in the pressure conduit and surge tank constriction. A major aspect in the paper is the non-dimensional from of the governing parameters, facilitating the use of the program in preliminary design situations.

    Notes: A mathematical model of the two-dimensional, incompressible turbulent boundary layer in arbitrary pressure gradient described and solved in earlier work1 is solved by an implicit finite difference method. Comparisons of skin friction coefficient and momentum thickness values for the two methods for four test cases of different character indicate that the present method is a useful alternative to the method of characteristics which was used in previous work.One feature of the present method is that allowance is made for the logarithmic character of the velocity profile when constructing one of the finite difference expressions.

    Notes: The finite element representation of the linearized equations governing the steady compressible flow of an isentropic perfect gas is considered. The fully non-linear system of equations is linearized on the basis of small perturbation theory. The finite element matrix equations for an arbitrary polygonal element are generated by the method of weighted residuals: Galerkin's criterion is used. As an example, a triangular element in two-dimensional flow is treated in detail and numerical result for a sample problem are given.

    Notes: This paper deals with the stability of the numerical solutions of a dynamic finite element analysis. The solutions are obtained through a stepwise integration of the equations of motion. Upper bounds on the steplength of the integration are obtained from a stability analysis of using a simple finite difference approximation for the equations of motion, and are shown to depend strongly on the particular element is use and on how the mass of the element is distributed at its nodes.As an example, the two-dimensional wave propagation in a semi-infinite plate subjected to a suddenly applied moment along its edge is studies. Through the example, we show that the bound on the steplength, obtained from the simple analysis, can provide a useful guide on choosing the steplength in other higher order integration methods. In particular, we show that, for stability considerations, the upper bound on the steplength should also hold for a fourth order explicit method. In order to achieve an acceptable accuracy of the solution, we show that the steplength should be approximately one half of the bound for the higher order explicit method as well as a higher order implicit method.Solution of the example has been compared with that of the Timoshenko theory.

    Notes: The inelastic flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams is described, as usual, by a trilinear (or, in general, multilinear) moment-rotation relationship. The analysis of beams and frames subject to given external actions is formulated as a ‘linear complementary problem’ and, in two dual ways, as a ‘quadratic programming problem’. These problems are solved by means of classical and recent algorithms in use in operations research. By the procedures pointed out it is also possible to calculate the distribution of plastic deformations along the beams. Two methods are proposed for the evaluation of the safety factor against local failure due to limited rotation capacity: the solution technique of the direct one essentially consists of an application of the simplex method for linear programming. Finally, a procedure is established for determining, allowing for the irreversibility of plastic rotations, the structural response to non-proportional loading histories which consist of individually proportional stages. Illustrative examples are given.

    Notes: This paper presents a method of numerical solution of boundary value problems governed by a set of ordinary differential equations. The highest derivative is chosen as the unknown function. Governing equations are transformed into a set of integral equations. The kernels of integral equations turn out to be influence functions for deflection and/or bending moments of a corresponding beam, and can, therefore, be computed using well-known methods of structural analysis. Finally, the unknown function (highest derivative) is approximated in a defined manner and the solution is obtained through numerical integration.

    Notes: The convergence and accuracy characteristics of two commonly used finite difference schemes, namely the central and the upwind difference, are compared with a scheme recently proposed by Spalding. For a simple two-dimensional problem with conduction and convection, it is shown that the scheme proposed by Spalding is preferable choice both from the point of view of accuracy and that of the convergence. The extension of the conclusion to a general case must await further substantiation.

    Notes: The method presented in Part I of this paper1 is extended to problems governed by a system of partial differential equations. The basic clarity and simplicity of the method is preserved.The domain of integration is covered by a net of orthogonal (not necessarily equidistant) straight lines. Choosing again highest derivatives with respect to each of the co-ordinates as unknowns, it is possible to reduce the problem to a system of integral equations along the lines of the adopted net.The subsequent procedure is basically the same as in Part I. The results prove to be of remarkable accuracy even for very coarse nets.

    Notes: It is shown that the upwind difference scheme of formulating differential expressions, in problems involving transport by simultaneous convection and diffusion, is superior to the central differences scheme, when the local Peclet number of the grid is large. Even better schemes are derived and discussed. It is pointed out that the best finite differences analogues are found by approximating differential expressions as a whole, and that simple (e.g. one-dimensional) exact solutions form a useful, legitimate and independent source of these optimum algebraic formulae.

    Notes: A finite difference method for analyzing two-dimensional steady-state potential flow in a zoned anisotropic material is described.A triangular mesh is used is as to avoid difficulties often occurring in the more familiar rectangular mesh where fractional mesh spaces exist at irregular boundaries. The system of finite difference equations based on the triangular mesh is assembled in a form such that the coefficient matrix is 3-cylic and consistently ordered.1, 2 This enables the optimum accelerating factor for successive overrelaxation to be closely estimated. Since the rate of convergence to the solution, and consequently the efficiency of the method, increases rapidly as the accelerating factor tends towards its optimum value, close determination of the optimum is important. The method is particularly suitable for problems having large numbers of nodes.Examples of the method on specific problems are given. The solution accuracy is assessed and has been found acceptable.

    Notes: The finite element method is applied to the solution f seepage problems where both electrokinetic and hydrodynamic forces occur. The resulting system of coupled equations is used to solve both the steady state and transient conditions in a one-dimensional system and compared with the theoretical result. An analysis is then made of a more complex two-dimensional problem where the application of electro-osmosis may be used successfully to prevent piping.

    Notes: Numerical calculation of the collapse load of a reinforced concrete plate is considered. Mathematical programming formulations are derived by using finite element representation. The plate is assumed to obey the square yield criteria. It is shown that good lower bound solutions can be obtained on a systematic basis. Upper bound solutions are approximated result of yield-line theory. An example of the square built-in plate loaded uniformly is given.

    Notes: An alternative approach to the usual finite element treatment of steady-state temperature problems is presented, using approximations for the field of the dual variables.The appropriate extremum principle is established and its minimization is discussed in connection with a plane triangular finite element process. Original heat flow elements are derived: in conjunction with temperature elements, they enable dual analysis of a given structure and an important estimate of the convergence to the true solution by upper and lower bounds to the dissipation function, as illustrated by means of several examples.

    Notes: A method of formulating and computing numerically integrated stiffness matrices is presented. Through a better organization of the formulation which is easily achieved by the use of index notation, the computations for integrating and evaluating the element stiffness matrix are substantially reduced. For cases in which the terms of the material property tensor are not functions of position co-ordinates (elastic isotropic and anisotropic materials), a further reduction in computation is achieved by multiplying the material property-tensor after the numerical integration has been carried out.

    Notes: Relations form the theory of characteristics are used to connect boundary and interior points in the numerical analysis of multidimensional, unsteady gas dynamics.Since specification of all variables on the boundaries does not occur, it is necessary to employ at least some of the differential equations for boundary points. The objective is to avoid the use of non-central finite differences and the subsequent generation of a pseudo-boundary layer.Boundaries consisting of a moving shock wave, a solid wall and a surface in a supersonic, downstream region are considered. The numerical procedure for determining variables on boundaries is described in datail for the hypersonic, blunt body problem.

    Notes: Lake circulations around island are calculated based on the shallow lake model using the finite element method. Wind stress, bottom friction, Coriolis force and shore line geometry are incorporated in the mathematical model and Lake Erie is used in the computations. A closure condition is derived for the multiply connected region of interest. The discussions are made in the light of accuracy and applicability of the numerical scheme used, and the influence of the circulation pattern due to the presence of islands.
