A lot of studies have been performed to explore the use and application of conforming elements in meshing of two and three-dimensional structures. Here, a combination of 5 nodes on X axis and 3 nodes on Y axis has been considered. Hence, the element used here is a 12 nodded rectangular nonconforming element, which can be termed as Quadri-Quintic nonconforming element. The development of a computer program to study the behavior of Quadri-Quintic nonconforming element and its application in meshing of deep beams has been targeted. The study may able to show that the proposed element gives results with higher accuracy and with faster convergence.

A three dimensional structural collapse analysis computer program is described, and illustrated by reference to a safety vehicle structure analysed and designed using the program. The particular problems of large displacements and material non-linearity are accounted for, and a method of estimating the permanent set which results after impact is described. Based on an incremental formulation of the conventional finite-element method, the computer program is capable of tracing the complete load deflection characteristics of a structure up to and beyond the point of collapse.

A numerical solution is presented for both the transient temperature and three-dimensional stress distribution in a railcar wheel resulting from a simulated emergency brake application. A computer program has been written for generating thermoelastic solutions applicable to wheels of arbitrary contour with temperature variations in both axial and radial directions. The results include the effect of shear stresses caused by the axial-radial temperature gradients and the high degree of boundary irregularity associated with this type of problem. The program has been validated by computing thermoelastic solutions for thin disks and long cylinders; the computed values being in good agreement with the closed form solutions. Currently, the computer program is being extended to general stress solutions corresponding to the transient temperature distributions obtained by simulated drag brake applications. When this work is completed, it will be possible to synthesize the thermal history of a railcar wheel and investigate the effects of wheel geometry in relation to thermal fatigue.

The computer programCRYC3Dworks with three-dimensional crystallographic geometric objects or groups of them and calculates their basic geometric characteristics by a simple click in the menu. In particular, this includes vector operations in both direct and reciprocal spaces and cell transformations. Collecting basic crystallographic operations in a single and simple program helps crystallographers to avoid looking for `fast-and-dirty' scripts or using large and unwieldy packages and may be useful in everyday work. When running the program in its principal mode, macro-operations are accompanied by a list of elementary geometric operations. This feature, together with the presence of a single-command mode and online help, may be useful also as a teaching tool.

TABLES is a computer program developed to display the crystal symmetry and the spatial location of the different symmetry operators for a given space group using interactive computer graphics. It allows the three-dimensional interactive display of the space-group information contained in International Tables for Crystallography [(1983), Vol. A. Dordrecht: Reidel]. Such a program is useful as a teaching aid in crystallography and is valuable for exploring molecular packing arrangements.

A computer program,3DBVSMAPPER, was developed to generate bond-valence sum maps and bond-valence energy landscapes with minimal user intervention. The program is designed to calculate the spatial distributions of bond-valence values on three-dimensional grids, and to identify infinitely connected isosurfaces in these spatial distributions for a given bond-valence mismatch or energy threshold and extract their volume and surface area characteristics. It is implemented in the Perl scripting language embedded in AccelrysMaterials Studioand has the capacity to process automatically an unlimited number of materials using crystallographic information files as input.

ABSTRAKBalok tinggi beton bertulang merupakan salah satu struktur khusus yang dapat memikul beban cukup besar dan umumnya digunakan sebagai transfer girder, struktur lepas pantai, struktur dinding, dan pondasi. Kehadiran bukaan pada balok tinggi dapat memfasilitasi jalur saluran AC, saluran pipa, jaringan kabel dan lain-lain. Dengan adanya bukaan pada balok tinggi dapat memberikan beberapa efek samping yaitu terjadinya diskontinuitas geometri, tegangan terdistribusi non-linier pada balok tinggi, berkurangnya kekuatan dari balok, dan timbulnya konsentrasi tegangan di sekitar bukaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efek dari kehadiran bukaan pada balok tinggi di atas dua perletakan (sendi-rol) dan dibebani beban terpusat di tengah bentang balok lalu memvariasikan bentuk bukaan (persegi, persegi panjang, dan lingkaran) dan lokasi bukaan. Tegangan lentur pada balok tinggi dan konsentrasi tegangan yang terjadi di sekitar bukaan merupakan hal yang akan dibahas dalam penelitian. Analisis akan dibantu dengan Midas FEA yang merupakan program berbasis elemen hingga dan  pemodelan dilakukan dengan elemen solid tiga dimensi. Hasil dari analisis ini menunjukkan bahwa kehadiran bukaan pada balok tinggi menyebabkan kenaikan tegangan secara signifikan. Lokasi dari bukaan yang mendekati daerah tengah bentang balok juga sangat mempengaruhi besarnya tegangan yang terjadi.ABSTRACTReinforced concrete deep beam is one of the special structures that can carry quite a big load and generally used as a transfer girder, offshore structure, wall structure, and foundation. The appearance of openings in deep beams can facilitate AC pipelines, plumbing pipes, cable networks, etc. The existence of openings in deep beams can provide a few side effects such as geometric discontinuity, non-linear stress distributions over the deep beams, reduced strength of the deep beams, and stresses concentration will emerged around the openings. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effects from the existence of openings in deep beams on two supports (hinge and roller) and loaded by concentrated load in mid-span then variate the shape of openings (square, rectangle, and circle) and location of the openings. Flexural stresses in deep beams and the stress concentrations that occur around the openings are discussed in this research. The analysis will be assisted by Midas FEA which is a finite element based program and modelling will be executed in three dimensional solid elements. The result of this analysis showed that the existence of the openings in deep beams can cause stresses to increase significantly high. The location of the openings close to the mid-span of the deep beams also affect the amount of the stresses that occurs.

Biological macromolecules have complex three-dimensional shapes that are experimentally examined using X-ray crystallography and electron cryo-microscopy. Interpreting the data that these methods yield involves building 3D atomic models. With almost every data set, some portion of the time put into creating these models must be spent manually modifying the model in order to make it consistent with the data; this is difficult and time-consuming, in part because the data are `blurry' in three dimensions. This paper describes the design and assessment of CootVR (available at http://hamishtodd1.github.io/cvr), a prototype computer program for performing this task in virtual reality, allowing structural biologists to build molecular models into cryo-EM and crystallographic data using their hands. CootVR was timed against Coot for a very specific model-building task, and was found to give an order-of-magnitude speedup for this task. A from-scratch model build using CootVR was also attempted; from this experience it is concluded that currently CootVR does not give a speedup over Coot overall.
