Hyperelastic Membranes with Implicitly Defined, Continuously Embedded Fibers
Michael Wolfgang Kaiser, Thomas-Peter Fries
A novel mechanical model and corresponding finite element method for anisotropic, hyperelastic, curved membranes are proposed. Hyperelastic fibers are embedded into the otherwise i…

Higher-order, mixed-hybrid finite elements for Kirchhoff-Love shells
Jonas Neumeyer, Michael Wolfgang Kaiser, Thomas-Peter Fries
A novel mixed-hybrid method for Kirchhoff-Love shells is proposed that enables the use of classical, possibly higher-order Lagrange elements in numerical analyses. In contrast to p…

Simultaneous solution of incompressible Navier-Stokes flows on multiple surfaces
Michael Wolfgang Kaiser, Thomas-Peter Fries
A mechanical model and finite element method for the simultaneous solution of Stokes and incompressible Navier-Stokes flows on multiple curved surfaces over a bulk domain are propo…
