Three-dimensional flat shell-to-shell coupling: numerical challenges

open access: yesCurved and Layered Structures, 2017
The node-to-surface formulation is widely used in contact simulations with finite elements because it is relatively easy to implement using different types of element discretizations.

Laminated Beam Analysis by Polynomial, rigonometric, Exponential and Zig-Zag Theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A number of refined beam theories are discussed in this paper. These theories were obtained by expanding the unknown displacement variables over the beam section axes by adopting Taylor's polynomials, trigonometric series, exponential, hyperbolic and zig ...

Homogenization of a space frame as a thick plate: Application of the Bending-Gradient theory to a beam lattice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
International audienceThe Bending-Gradient theory for thick plates is the extension to heterogeneous plates of Reissner-Mindlin theory originally designed for homogeneous plates.

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

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

Nonlinear numerical analysis of composite slabs with steel decking

open access: yesRevista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2019
The composite slabs behavior is governed by longitudinal shear at the interface between the steel deck and concrete, which is developed in slabs under simple bending.

A numerical approach for modelling thin cracked plates with XFEM [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The modelization of bending plates with through the thickness cracks is investigated. We consider the Kirchhoff-Love plate model which is valid for very thin plates.

Monitoring of Corrosion Damage by Using iFEM Methodology

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 495-517, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Marine environment is a harsh environment that can cause major issues for marine structures while operating in this environment, including fatigue cracking and corrosion damage, which can yield catastrophic consequences, such as human life losses, financial losses, environmental pollution, and so forth.

Numerical results for mimetic discretization of Reissner-Mindlin plate problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A low-order mimetic finite difference (MFD) method for Reissner-Mindlin plate problems is considered. Together with the source problem, the free vibration and the buckling problems are investigated.

A new design model for anchorages with flexible elastic base plate for concrete breakout failure under tension loads

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 4365-4388, August 2025.
Abstract The current codes and standards for the design of anchorages against concrete cone breakout failure require the base plate to be rigid such that each anchor is subjected to almost equal load under concentric tension, and there is a linear distribution of anchor forces for groups under eccentric tension or bending.
