An efficient mixed variational reduced order model formulation for non-linear analyses of elastic shells [PDF]
The Koiter-Newton method had recently demonstrated a superior performance for non-linear analyses of structures, compared to traditional path-following strategies.

Nonlinear Static Stability of Imperfect Bio-Inspired Helicoidal Composite Beams
The objective of this manuscript is to develop, for the first time, a mathematical model for the prediction of buckling, postbuckling, and nonlinear bending of imperfect bio-inspired helicoidal composite beams with nonlinear rotation angle.

Catastrophe Models for Cognitive Workload and Fatigue [PDF]
We reconceptualised several problems concerning the measurement of cognitive workload – fixed versus variable limits on channel capacity, work volume versus time pressure, adaptive strategies, resources demanded by tasks when performed simultaneously ...

The process of deformation and buckling of shallow thin-walled elastic conical shells has been investigated for the case of significantly non-uniform stress-strain state due to the action of wind load based on improved model of pressure application ...

Elastocapillary instability under partial wetting conditions: bending versus buckling [PDF]
The elastocapillary instability of a flexible plate plunged in a liquid bath is analysed theoretically. We show that the plate can bend due to two separate destabilizing mechanisms, when the liquid is partially wetting the solid.

Calculation of the Stability Index in Parameter-Dependent Calculus of Variations Problems: Buckling of a Twisted Elastic Strut [PDF]
We consider the problem of minimizing the energy of an inextensible elastic strut with length 1 subject to an imposed twist angle and force. In a standard calculus of variations approach, one first locates equilibria by solving the Euler--Lagrange ODE ...

Bifurcation scenarios in helical buckling of slender rods using new FE
We develop a new Finite Element to accurately model twisting of rods and capture the bifurcation scenarios leading to helical buckling and various further post-buckling states.
