A Comparative Study of Gradient Descent Method and a Novel Non-Gradient Method for Structural Shape Optimization [PDF]
Motivated by the works on non-gradient techniques in the domain of shape optimization of the structure, the present work intends to suggest a novel non-gradient procedure for shape optimization of structures and compare it to an existing gradient-based ...

Stress Gradient Effects on Notched Composite Failure Using a Local-Global Approach [PDF]
Micromechanics based analysis to predict damage initiation in compressively loaded symmetric notched multidirectional laminates under remote uniaxial loading is described. A novel hybrid local-global finite element method in conjunction with the commercial code ABAQUS is used to solve the governing system of equations.

The Influence of Temperature Variations on Rigid Pavement Concrete Slabs
This research aims to assess the effect of temperature gradient developed within the concrete slab of rigid pavement, and to investigate its impact when incorporated with the traffic load, and the heat transfer pattern.

A Novel Estimation Approach of Pressure Gradient and Haemodynamic Stresses as Indicators of Pathological Aortic Flow Using Subvoxel Modelling [PDF]
The flow downstream from aortic stenoses is characterised by the onset of shear-induced turbulence that leads to irreversible pressure losses. These extra losses represent an increased resistance that impacts cardiac efficiency. A novel approach is suggested in this study to accurately evaluate the pressure gradient profile along the aorta centreline ...
