Macroscopic deformations in embryonic soft tissues are due to the intra-cellular remodelling and cell intercalation. We here present a computational approach that can handle the two types of deformations, and also take ...

We present a hybrid vertex/cell-centred model for mechanically simulating planar cellular monolayers undergoing cell reorganisation. Cell centres are represented by a triangular nodal network, while the cell boundaries are ...

We present a differential model of the hysteretic behavior of unsheathed x-braced frames. The model includes all the relevant aspects (perfect or hardening plasticity of diagonal straps under tension, buckling of diagonal ...

Wound healing is characterized by the re-epitheliation of a tissue through the activation of contractile forces concentrated mainly at the wound edge. While the formation of an actin purse string has been identified as one ...

La ingeniería computacional se ha consolidado ya como una disciplina horizontal en el ámbito de la ingeniería civil. La modelización numérica es, cada vez más, una alternativa para el cálculo y diseño en inge niería a los ...

The transmission of sound through slits and openings between cuboid-shaped rooms is analysed. A deterministic model that describes the pressure fields inside the rooms in terms of eigenfunctions and uses the Dirichlet-to-Neumann ...

In this paper, numerical differentiation is applied to integrate plastic constitutive laws and to compute the corresponding consistent tangent operators. The deriva- tivesoftheconstitutive equationsareapproximatedbymea ...

In this paper, numerical differentiation is applied to integrate plastic constitutive laws and to compute the corresponding consistent tangent operators. The derivatives of the constitutive equations are approximated by ...

A study on the optimal procedure for obtaining SEA (statistical energy analysis) coupling loss factors (CLF) numerically is presented. The energies of an SEA system with two subsystems (one excited, the other one unexcited) ...
