Multi-scale analysis of timber framed structures filled with earth and stones [PDF]
, 2013 This paper deals with the seismic analysis of timber framed houses filled by stones and earth mortar using a multi-scale approach going from the cell to the wall and then to the house.

Dynamics of a Semiflexible Polymer or Polymer Ring in Shear Flow
, 2014 Polymers exposed to shear flow exhibit a rich tumbling dynamics. While rigid rods rotate on Jeffery orbits, flexible polymers stretch and coil up during tumbling.

Experimental and numerical evaluation of viscoelastic sandwich beams
REM: International Engineering JournalViscoelastic materials can dissipate a large amount of energy when subjected to cyclic shear deformations, but they have low bearing capacity. Therefore they are often employed as a damping layer in sandwich structures.

Cyclic debonding of adhesively bonded composites [PDF]
The fatigue behavior of a simple composite to composite bonded joint was analyzed. The cracked lap shear specimen subjected to constant amplitude cyclic loading was studied. Two specimen geometries were tested for each bonded system: (1) a strap adherend

Experimental investigation of cyclic thermomechanical deformation in torsion [PDF]
An investigation of thermomechanical testing and deformation behavior of tubular specimens under torsional loading is described. Experimental issues concerning test accuracy and control specific to thermomechanical loadings under a torsional regime are ...

Cyclic fatigue damage characteristics observed for simple loadings extended to multiaxial life prediction [PDF]
Fully reversed uniaxial strain controlled fatigue tests were performed on smooth cylindrical specimens made of 304 stainless steel. Fatigue life data and cracking observations for uniaxial tests were compared with life data and cracking behavior observed

The relationship between observed fatigue damage and life estimation models [PDF]
Observations of the surface of laboratory specimens subjected to axial and torsional fatigue loadings has resulted in the identification of three damage fatigue phenomena: crack nucleation, shear crack growth, and tensile crack growth.

Macroelement modeling of shallow foundations
, 2008 The paper presents a new macroelement model for shallow foundations. The model is defined through a non-linear constitutive law written in terms of some generalized force and displacement parameters.
