Harmonic tension–compression tests at 0.1, 0.5 and 1 Hz on hydrated bovine periodontal ligament (PDL) were numerically simulated. The process was modeled by finite elements (FE) within the framework of poromechanics, with the objective of isolating the con ...
Large-scale shake table tests were conducted at E-Defense, Japan, to examine the dynamic response of a steel concentrically braced frame. The specimen was a single-bay, single-story frame with a pair of square hollow structural section braces placed in a c ...
In this paper, a mixed numerical-experimental identification procedure for characterising the storage and loss properties in sandwich structures with a relatively stiff core is developed. At the computational level, the proposed method is based upon an ori ...
Fibre reinforced materials are increasingly employed in aerospace, naval and civil structures because of their low weight and high specific strength and stiffness. A major concern is the inherent susceptibility of composite laminates to barely visible dama ...
This paper describes efficient C-0-compatible finite elements for modelling structurally damped laminated composite plates and shells under harmonic vibrations. Based upon a shear deformation theory of any order p (PSDT), the elements are well adapted for ...
This paper presents an innovative wing profile featuring an internal truss-like structure of chiral topology. The chiral design is selected because of its unique deformation characteristics, which produce a theoretical, in-plane Poisson's ratio of -1. Such ...
Composite materials undoubtedly belong to one of the most studied classes of materials nowadays. In order to model the behaviour of mechanical structures made of this type of materials, it is necessary to know their constitutive properties. The varieties o ...
An experimental investigation has been carried out to quantify the effects of surrounding fluid on the modal behavior of a reduced scale pump-turbine impeller. The modal properties of the fluid-structure system have been obtained by Experimental Modal Anal ...

The overall aim of this thesis has been to assess the potential of latex-based technologies for the preparation of polymer/clay nanocomposites. The key feature of latex-based technologies is that they offer the possibility of improved control of the final ...
A novel method is presented for estimating the elastic and dissipative parameters of composite plates and shells through a mixed numerical-experimental identification procedure based on the natural frequencies, modal damping factors and mode shapes of the ...
