Abstract
This article presents a novel finite element formulation for the Biot equation using low‐order elements. Additionally, an extra degree of freedom is introduced to treat [...]
Abstract
The discussers ask why a hyperelastic model was employed. There are several reasons why using an hyper-elastic model is preferable. Probably the most important one is that [...]
Abstract
We describe the large strain implementation of an elasto-plastic model for structured soils into G-PFEM, a code developed for geotechnical simulations using the Particle Finite [...]
Abstract
A Lagrangian incompressible fluid flow model is extended by including an implicit surface tension term in order to analyze droplet dynamics. The Lagrangian framework is adopted [...]
Abstract
Cochlear implantation (CI) is a complex surgical procedure that restores hearing in patients with severe deafness. The successful outcome of the implanted device relies on [...]
Abstract
Computational modeling has become a powerful tool in biomedical engineering thanks to its potential to simulate coupled systems. However, real parameters are usually not accurately [...]
Abstract
An embedded Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation for the simulation of droplet dynamics within a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) channel is presented. Air is modeled using [...]
Abstract
The Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) is used to develop a model to study two-phase flow in fuel cell gas channels. First, the PFEM is used to develop the model of free [...]
Abstract
Design optimization has already become an important tool in industry. The benefits are clear, but several drawbacks are still present, being the main one the computational [...]
