...Lorena Leocádio Gomes; Felicio Bruzzi Barros; Samuel Silva Penna; Roque Luiz da Silva Pitangueira Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the capabilities of the generalized finite element method (GFEM) under the context of the geometrically nonlinear analysis. The effect of large...

...Mateus Rauen; Roberto Dalledone Machado; Marcos Arndt Purpose The purpose of this paper is to check the efficiency of isogeometric analysis (IGA) by comparing its results with classical finite element method (FEM), generalized finite element method (GFEM) and other enriched versions of FEM through...

... are performed on the static and modal analyses of the flexural-shear cantilever wall-frame structures using the proposed generalized finite element method (GFEM), and their accuracies are compared with those obtained using the standard finite element method. Findings The proposed GFEM is able to achieve...
