Damage localization in truss girders by an application of the discrete wavelet transform [PDF]
The paper demonstrates the potential of wavelet transform in a discrete form for structural damage localization. The efficiency of the method is tested through a series of numerical examples, where the real flat truss girder is simulated by a ...

Analysis of high velocity impacts of quasibrittle material fragments with a Hopkinson bar [PDF]
In this work it has been characterized the impact behaviour of quasibrittle fragments against a Hopkinson bar in a wide range of impact velocities (70-180 m/s). Hopkinson bar is designed to measure the impact forces thanks to a proper instrumentation. In

Many pieces of fine art are made of wood that has been treated with coatings. Since wood is a very hygroscopic material, the moisture content strongly influences the deformation of wooden parts. Coatings often act as moisture barriers.

Experimental analysis of high velocity impacts of composite fragments on aluminium plates [PDF]
The improvement of engines is one of the ways to diminish the fuel consumption in civil aircrafts, and Open Rotors engines are one of the best promises in order to achieve a sensible efficiency increment.

Hyperelastic Geometrically Nonlinear Inverse 3D-FEM Truss Analyses Based on VaReS
Direct usage of construction plans as input for structural analyses assumes the reference configuration to match the engineering drawings. However, the built construction is typically supposed to match the construction plans after its successful erection.

Finite element method-enhanced neural network for forward and inverse problems
We introduce a novel hybrid methodology that combines classical finite element methods (FEM) with neural networks to create a well-performing and generalizable surrogate model for forward and inverse problems. The residual from finite element methods and
