Solving of elastodynamic problems arises in many scientific fields such as wave propagation in the ground, non-destructive testing, vibration design of buildings, or vibroacoustics in general. An integral formulation based ...

One of the most important engineering tasks over the years has been the design and manufacture of increasingly sophisticated structural materials as a result of the requirements related to the technological progress. In ...

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 ...

The numerical modelling of forming processes involving the flow of foams requires taking into account the different problem scales. Thus, in industrial applications a macroscopic approach is suitable, whereas the macroscopic ...

The strength of soft tissues is due mainly to collagen fibers. In most collagenous tissues, the arrangement of the fibers is random, but has preferred directions. The random arrangement makes it difficult to make deterministic ...

Históricamente ha sido necesario para la construcción de edificios el uso de forjados resistentes para un mejor aprovechamiento del suelo. Con el transcurso del tiempo ha habido una evolución de la tipología y materiales ...

We present a three-dimensional continuum model for layered crystalline materials made out of weakly interacting two-dimensional crystalline sheets. We specialize the model to multilayer graphene materials, including ...
