COMPLAS 2021 is the 16th conference of the COMPLAS Series.
The COMPLAS conferences started in 1987 and since then have become established events in the field of computational plasticity and related topics. The first fifteen conferences in the COMPLAS series were all held in the city of Barcelona (Spain) and were very successful from the scientific, engineering and social points of view. We intend to make the 16th edition of the conferenceanother successful edition of the COMPLAS meetings.
The objectives of COMPLAS 2021 are to address both the theoretical bases for the solution of nonlinear solid mechanics problems, involving plasticity and other material nonlinearities, and the numerical algorithms necessary for efficient and robust computer implementation. COMPLAS 2021 aims to act as a forum for practitioners in the nonlinear structural mechanics field to discuss recent advances and identify future research directions.

Reduced-order (single-degree-of-freedom) models of buildings subjected to wind loads were analyzed to determine the effect of gravity loads on inelastic behavior. The lateral wind loads were based on data from atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel tests to capture the temporal and spatial variation of wind pressure on a building envelope. The lateral load resisting system of the building was idealized using a bilinear relationship, and gravity load effects were introduced using a stability coefficient. Nonlinear response history analyses were solved using direct implicit integration of the equation of motion, and an energy balance was used to assess the quality of the numerical solution. The resulting response histories were used to interrogate the relationship between inelastic displacement, ductility, period of vibration, and gravity loads. The results indicate that inelastic displacements were approximately equal to the elastic displacements even in the presence of gravity loads for cross wind excitation. For along wind excitation, the inelastic displacements were approximately equal to the elastic displacements regardless of gravity loads. The findings suggest that the equal displacement concept may have application to the wind design of high-rise buildings where cross-wind loads control the design of the lateral system

This contribution presents a combined framework to perform parametric surrogate modeling of vibroacoustic problems that enables efficient training of large-scale problems. The proposed framework combines the active subspace method to perform dimensionality reduction of high-dimensional problems and thereafter a clustering-based approach within the identified active subspace region to yield smaller training clusters. Finally, a trained neural network assists the cluster classification task for any desired parameter point so as to query the parametric system response during the online phase.

Materials such as composites are heterogeneous at the micro-scale, where several constituents with different material properties can be distinguished like elastic inclusions and the elasto-plastic matrix with isotropic hardening. One has to deal with these heterogeneities on the micro-scale and then perform a scale transition to obtain the overall behavior on the macro-scale, which is often referred to as homogenization. The present contribution deals with the combination of numerically inexpensive mean-field and numerically expensive full-field homogenization methods in elasto-plasticity coupled to adaptive finite element method (FEM) which takes into account error generation and error transport at each time step on the macro-scale. The proposed adaptive procedure is driven by a goal-oriented a posteriori error estimator based on duality techniques. The main difficulty of duality techniques in the literature is that the backwards-in-time al gorithm has a high demand on memory capacity since additional memory is required to store the primary solutions computed over all time steps. To this end, several down wind and upwind approximations are introduced for an elasto-plastic primal problem by means of jump terms [1]. Therefore, from a computational point of view, the forwards-in time duality problem is very attractive. A numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive approach based on forwards-in-time method in comparison to backwards-in-time method.
