This paper is concerned with a new prediction methodology for longitudinally invariant soil-structure interaction problems in elastodynamics. The method uses the finite-element method to model the structure, the boundary-element ...

We presented a finite-element-based algorithm to simulate plane-strain, straight hydraulic fractures in an impermeable elastic medium. The algorithm acCOllllts for the nonlinear coupling between the fluid pressure and the ...

Many manufactured materials, such as rubbers, are made of several constituents with very different mechanical stiffness. Interestingly, the overall mechanical response of the material exhibits a very particular response ...

The first superconvergent hybridisable discontinuous Galerkin method for linear elastic problems capable of using the same degree of approximation for both the primal and mixed variables is presented. The key feature of ...

Evolutionary processes in biological tissue, such as adaptation or remodeling, represent an enterprising area of research. In this paper, we present a multiscale model for the remodeling of fibered structures, such as ...

This paper introduces a novel upwind Updated Reference Lagrangian Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) algorithm for the numerical simulation of large strain thermo-elasticity and thermo-visco-plasticity. The deformation ...

The paper presents a new computational framework for the numerical simulation of fast large strain solid dynamics, with particular emphasis on the treatment of near incompressibility. A complete set of first order hyperbolic ...

In this report, a structural analysis of a rocket is performed. Its aim it to base the analysis on finite elements, where transient states and vibrations will be taken into account, in order to obtain nodal displacements ...

In this note, two problems arisen in micropolar elasticity are considered from the analytical point of view. Following the Kelvin–Voigt theory of micropolar viscoelasticity, two dissipative mechanisms are imposed: in the ...

To solve the indetermination of forces existing in a form-closed cam mechanism formed by conjugate cams, where the contact between the cams and the follower rollers is constantly ensured by only the geometry of the elements, ...
