RVE Analysis in LS-DYNA for High-fidelity Multiscale Material Modeling [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In modern engineering designs, advanced materials (e.g., fiber/particle-reinforced polymers, metallic alloys, laminar composites, etc.) are widely used, where microscale heterogeneities such as grains, inclusions, voids, micro-cracks, and interfaces significantly affect the macroscopic constitutive behaviors.

CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

EPRA International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (IJMR), 2019
Construction Engineering is very important part of Civil Engineering. We can’t think about a good and stable structure without good quality of construction. And the construction materials is also play an important role for any construction work. Construction engineering is a professional discipline that deals with the designing, planning, construction ...
