The dynamics of a shear band

open access: yes, 2018
A shear band of finite length, formed inside a ductile material at a certain stage of a con- tinued homogeneous strain, provides a dynamic perturbation to an incident wave field, which strongly influences the dynamics of the material and affects its path

Effects of thickness stretching in functionally graded plates and shells

open access: yes, 2011
1The present work evaluates the effect of thickness stretching in plate/shell structures made by materials which are functionally graded (FGM) in the thickness directions.

Application of an Evolving Non-Associative Anisotropic-Asymmetric Plasticity Model for a Rare-Earth Magnesium Alloy

open access: yesMetals, 2018
Magnesium sheet metal alloys have a hexagonal close packed (hcp) crystal structure that leads to severe evolving anisotropy and tension-compression asymmetry as a result of the activation of different deformation mechanisms (slip and twinning) that are ...

Assessment of Maxillary Expansion Techniques by means of 3D Elastoplastic Finite Element Static Simulation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied and Computational Mechanics
Even though numerous studies considered various approaches for maxillary expansion, there is still no consensus on which method is optimal for a patient with a particular clinical picture.

A phase-field model for fractures in incompressible solids

open access: yes, 2019
Within this work, we develop a phase-field description for simulating fractures in incompressible materials. Standard formulations are subject to volume-locking when the solid is (nearly) incompressible. We propose an approach that builds on a mixed form

Development of a realistic stress analysis for fatigue analysis of notched composite laminates [PDF]

open access: yes
A finite element stress analysis which consists of a membrane and interlaminar shear spring analysis was developed. This approach was utilized in order to model physically realistic failure mechanisms while maintaining a high degree of computational ...

Shear induced normal stress differences in aqueous foams

open access: yes, 2006
A finite simple shear deformation of an elastic solid induces unequal normal stresses. This nonlinear phenomenon, known as the Poynting effect, is governed by a universal relation between shear strain and first normal stresses difference, valid for non ...

Effects of surface structure deformation on static friction at fractal interfaces

open access: yes, 2013
The evolution of fractal surface structures with flattening of asperities was investigated using isotropically roughened aluminium surfaces loaded in compression. It was found that asperity amplitude, mean roughness and fractal dimension decrease through

A quasi-static nonlinear analysis for assessing the fire resistance of 3d frames exploiting time-dependent yield surface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this work an automatic procedure for evaluating the axial force-biaxial bending yield surface of reinforced concrete sections in fire is proposed. It provides an accurate time-dependent expression of the yield condition by a section analysis carried ...

Investigating the Influence of the Improved Multibody Rope Approach on the Structural Behavior of Dakar Mosque Gridshell Structure

open access: yesBuildings
Gridshell structures are characterized by an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, allowing their application in large-span roofing structures. However, their complex construction process and maintenance limited their widespread application.
