Abstract
This paper investigates the possibility of using the material point method (MPM) to solve small strains quasi-static problems and dynamic problems related to large distortions. Traditional methods such as the finite element method (FEM) face difficulties when large strains are [...]
Abstract
A numerical model for the load transfer mechanism in mooring anchor systems, commonly used in offshore petroleum industry, is presented in this work. Special attention is paid to the mechanical modelling of the contact interaction of the two medium components, namely the soil and [...]
Abstract
In this paper a finite element for the non-linear analysis of two dimensional beams and axisymmetric shells is presented. The element uses classical thin shell assumptions (no transverse shear strains). The main feature of the element is that it has no rotational degrees of freedom. [...]
Abstract
During the thermo-mechanical processing of metals, complex microstructure evolution inevitably occur, altering the marcoscopic material properties. The vital microstructure mechanisms include viscoplastic deformation, dynamic recovery (DRV) and dynamic recrystallization (DRX), leading [...]
