A multilayer anisotropic plate model with warping functions for the study of vibrations reformulated from Woodcock's work

, 2012
In this paper, a plate model suitable for static and dynamic analysis of inhomogeneous anisotropic multilayered plates is described. This model takes transverse shear variation through the thickness of the plate into account by means of warping functions

Dynamic Response of Spherically Curved Laminated Plate Subjected to Sudden Loading

Journal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study investigated the dynamic response of simply supported spherical laminated composite plates with square vertices, composed of graphite/epoxy material, under sudden loading. The research examined the influence of stacking sequence, thickness variation, and type of loading using the finite element method (FEM).

Data‐Driven Detection of Internal Erosion Initiation in Gap‐Graded Soils: Combining Particle‐Scale CFD‐DEM Simulation With 3D Convolutional Autoencoder

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 49, Issue 17, Page 4225-4247, 10 December 2025.
ABSTRACT Internal erosion in gap‐graded soils poses significant risks to water‐retaining structures such as earth dams. However, its underlying mechanisms at the particle scale remain poorly understood. This study couples the discrete element method (DEM) with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate internal erosion in gap‐graded soil assemblies

Higher‐Order, Mixed‐Hybrid Finite Elements for Kirchhoff–Love Shells

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 21, 15 November 2025.
ABSTRACT A novel mixed‐hybrid method for Kirchhoff–Love shells is proposed that enables the use of classical, possibly higher‐order Lagrange elements in numerical analyses. In contrast to purely displacement‐based formulations that require higher continuity of shape functions as in isogeometric analysis (IGA), the mixed formulation features ...

Magneto-Thermo-Mechanical Buckling Analysis of Mindlin Plate Reinforced with FG-Carbon Nanotubes

Archives of Civil Engineering, 2016
A buckling analysis of temperature-dependent embedded plates reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) subjected to a magnetic field is investigated. The SWCNTs are distributed as uniform (UD) and three types of functionally graded nanotubes (

Tension chord model for CFRP‐prestressed structural concrete

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 6576-6593, October 2025.
Abstract This paper introduces a mechanical model for steel‐reinforced concrete prestressed with bonded CFRP rods and presents the findings of an experimental campaign conducted to validate the model. The study is part of a project aiming at developing a railway bridge system in Switzerland that utilizes stainless steel reinforcing bars combined with ...
