A comparison of plastic collapse and limit loads for single mitred pipe bends under in-plane bending [PDF]
This paper presents a comparison of the plastic collapse loads from experimental in-plane bending tests on three 90 degree single un-reinforced mitred pipe bends, with the results from various 3D solid finite element models.

Stress intensity factors computation for bending plates with extended finite element method [PDF]
The modelization of bending plates with through-the-thickness cracks is investigated. We consider the Kirchhoff–Love plate model, which is valid for very thin plates.

Computational modelling and experimental characterisation of heterogeneous materials [PDF]
Heterogeneous materials can exhibit behaviour under load that cannot be described by classical continuum elasticity. Beams in bending can show a relative stiffening as the beam depth tends to zero, a size effect.
