Continuous-fiber ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are of interest as hot-section components in gas turbine engines due to their refractoriness and low density relative to metallic alloys. In service, CMCs will be subjected to spatially inhomogeneous temper ...
In the wide literature devoted to the cardiac structural mechanics, the strain energy proposed by Holzapfel and Ogden exhibits a number of interesting features: it has suitable mathematical properties and it is based on few material parameters that can, in ...
Soils, as well as most of deformable multiphase porous materials, are likely to suffer from desiccation cracking, leading to the formation of regular crack patterns affecting their permeability. The ensuing cracks spacing has often been related to a concep ...
This paper describes the numerical analysis method used to estimate welding induced residual stresses in K-shape tubular bridge joints. The knowledge of residual stress distribution is required to design the geometry of K-joints loaded under fatigue stress ...
Wood-to-wood bonds obtained by means of friction welding are a relatively new type of connections holding high potential to compete with existing structural adhesives, since a load bearing bond is formed almost instantaneously. This paper addresses the que ...
Nonlinear transient thermal stress and elastic wave propagation analyses are developed for hollow thick temperature-dependent FGM cylinders subjected to dynamic thermomechanical loads. Stress wave propagation, wave shape distortion, and speed variation und ...
It is important to consider the microstructure of a material when studying the macroscopic mechanical properties. Although special equipments have been used for micromechanics study through experimental tests, it is limited by instruments and reproducibili ...
Primary load-bearing glass constructions are often subjected to relatively important in-plane loads, transferred through so-called point-fixed connections. The according in-plane load introduction, structural resistance and failure mechanisms have been stu ...
We are interested in the development, implementation and testing of an orthotropic model for cardiac contraction based on an active strain decomposition. Our model addresses the coupling of a transversely isotropic mechanical description at the cell level, ...
Welding of wood is a relatively new method of joining load bearing elements, which holds the potential to compete with structural adhesion, since it allows for an almost instantaneous bond. First experimental and numerical investigations showed that failur ...
