A model of higher-order single crystal plasticity is presented and reviewed in order to develop a corresponding finite-element framework. Contrary to the underlying model of Gurtin [Int. J. Plast. 24:702-725, 2008], here ...

El modelatge computacional de l'elasticitat de gradient de deformació i de l'acoblament electromecànic (és a dir, la exoelectricitat i la piezoelectricitat) sempre ha estat un repte atès l'alt ordre de les EDPs amb què es ...

Fracture modelling has always been a direction of research in engineering, more specifically in civil engineering. In this last quarter of century, the implementation of nonlocality in damage models has been a direction ...

In this work we investigate the seismic strength, behavior, and performance of the hybrid masonry structural system. The computational modeling efforts aim to characterize the inelastic behavior of hybrid masonry panels. ...

Actin turnover plays a fundamental role in cell motility, cancer or embryogenesis. The actin flow acts as an engine for the affective motion of motile cells by means of protrusive and retractile mechanisms conditioned also ...

In the present study, the main objective is to develop a finite volume method (FVM) based numerical modelling approach incorporated with a Volume of fluid (VOF) method to investigate the ...

Angiogenesis, the growth of capillaries from pre-existing ones, plays a key role in cancer progression. Tumours release tumour angiogenic factors (TAFs) into the extracellular matrix (ECM) that trigger angiogenesis once ...

Masonry is an ancient building material that has been used throughout the history, and it is still used nowadays. Masonry constitutes the main building technique adopted in historical constructions, and a deep understanding ...

We present a formulation for analysis of turbulent incompressible flows using a stabilized finite element method (FEM) based on the finite calculus (FIC) procedure. The stabilization terms introduced by the FIC approach ...
