Bioinspired Materials, Designs, and Manufacturing Strategies for Advanced Impact‐Resistant Helmets

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 22, November 2025.
This review explores how bioinspired materials, structures, and manufacturing strategies transform helmet design to achieve enhanced impact resistance. Drawing inspiration from nacre, porcupine quills, beetle exoskeletons, and skull architectures, it highlights advances in auxetic lattices, nanocomposites, and functionally graded foams.

On Some Problems in Determining Tensile Parameters of Concrete Model from Size Effect Tests

open access: yesPolish Maritime Research, 2019
The paper presents results of numerical simulations of size effect phenomenon in concrete specimens. The behaviour of in-plane geometrically similar notched and unnotched beams under three-point bending is investigated.

CRACK INFLUENCE ON A PIPE WITH DOUBLE SLOPE UNDER INTERNAL PRESSURE: NUMERICAL SIMULATION WITH XFEM

open access: yesInternational Islamic University Malaysia Engineering Journal, 2020
This work analyses the effect of elliptical cracks on a pipe with double slope thickness transition, using the extended finite element method (XFEM), level sets were defined to describe the three-dimensional (3D) cracks.

Robust and Efficient FFT‐Based Solvers for Unit‐Cell Problems With Voids and Pores Under Displacement Boundary Conditions

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 18, 30 September 2025.
ABSTRACT There is a variety of microstructured materials that involve voids and pores, for example, high‐porosity foams, mechanical metamaterials, or composites involving defects due to damage and cracking, respectively. Computational methods based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) typically face convergence problems for such microstructures unless ...

A phase-field method for modeling cracks with frictional contact

open access: yes, 2019
We introduce a phase-field method for continuous modeling of cracks with frictional contacts. Compared with standard discrete methods for frictional contacts, the phase-field method has two attractive features: (1) it can represent arbitrary crack ...

XFEM appliquée aux structures aéronautiques

open access: yes, 2017
Dans le domaine des structures primaires aéronautiques, la tolérance aux dommages devient un critère de plus en plus dimensionnant. Basé essentiellement sur des méthodes analytiques ou modèles numériques simplifiés, la levée de conservatismes de calcul et la rapidité d’obtention de scénarios critiques deviennent limitant.
