Erasmo ViolaA survey of several methods under the heading of strong formulation finite element method (SFEM) is presented. These approaches are distinguished from classical one, termed weak formulation finite element method (WFEM). The main advantage of the SFEM is that it uses differential quadrature method (DQM) for the discretization of the equations and the mapping technique for the coordinate transformation from the Cartesian to the computational domain. Moreover, the element connectivity is performed by using kinematic and static conditions, so that displacements and stresses are continuous across the element boundaries. Numerical investigations integrate this survey by giving details on the subject.

Nicholas
Fantuzzi got his master’s degree in civil
engineering at the University of Bologna in 2009 and he received his PhD in
Structural Engineering and Hydraulics at University of Bologna in 2013. From
2013 to 2017, he was a Research Fellow and Adjunct Professor, from Jun 2017 to
Nov 2018 he was a Junior Assistant Professor (RTD-A), and from Dec 2018 to Oct
2021 he was a Senior Assistant Professor (RTD-B) at University of Bologna. Since
Nov 2021, he is an Associate Professor in University of Bologna. His research
topics are in the area of structural theories and mechanics of solids. In
particular, his research focuses on composite laminated structures and
innovative materials. Other research interests are fracture mechanics and crack
propagation and initiation in metallic and composite materials.
