Solutions for MDOF systems arc usually obtained through the use of finite element procedures. Due to nonlinearities associated with plasticity and possibly large displacements, the direct time integration method should be used. Various direct integration methods for time integration are employed but, the Newmark Method is perhaps he most common. Other methods, such as the Houboult Method, Wilson-T Method and the Central Difference Method are commonly used in finite element applications. Refer to Bathe 1995 for further details. 

To use computer storage more efficiently, the vector of unknown temperatures will eventually be stored in the global force vector, f. The next steps in the finite element procedure (Table 9.1) will be to form the global stiffness matrix and force vector, and to solve the resulting linear system of algebraic equations, as presented in Algorithm 5. 

Within the standard framework of development of the finite element procedures, considering the region V subdivided with a set of finite elements Ve, that is V = EVe, corresponding global matrices which appear in equation (13) are the result of the assembling of respective element matrices defined as follows...

Using the standard finite element procedure [20], the velocity field is represented using a set of shape functions and the strain rates y are calculated using Eqn. 1. Writing the results in the matrix form gives... 

The finite element procedure begins with the division of the computational domain Q into a set of non-overlapping elements, for example, a collection of tetrahedral elements Q,- Since the Eulerian method is used, the elements are fixed in space. Methods such as the VOF or the level set method is used to determine the moving flow front.

Here, the three-dimensional finite-element procedure used by Gifford [19] to solve three-dimensional free-surface problems which include inertia will be reviewed. Previous results of simulations showing the effect of Reynolds number on extrudate swell of Newtonian liquids from a square die are discussed and compared to new results from a rectangular die. Limiting die swell solutions at infinite Reynolds number are discussed and the effect of the aspect ratio of the rectangle on these limiting values is presented. The effect of wall slip on die swell from the square die is also considered.

The finite element procedures for the analysis of elastic>plastic solids at large strain have been given by Lee [9] and implemented by Chiou [11] and Chiou et al. [10]. In this work, only a few comments on the finite element procedures will be made. Equation (16), which links the Truesdell stress rate tensor and the deformation rate tensor, may be regarded as the stress-strain relation in rate fom with a being the "slope" at a particular point in stress space. However, in nonlinear finite element analysis, one has to have a stress-strain relation in incremental form which enables the increments in displacements, strains, and stresses not to be infinitesimally small. Therefore, it is proposed to adopt the following incremental stress-strain relation...

Impedance functions for multilayered soils can only be determined with specialized software that is not easily accessible to practicing engineers. Available algorithms are mostly based on finite element procedures incorporating efficient consistent boundaries for the proper energy radiatirm at the domain boundaries.
