The Marinera, which was seized by the U.S., isn’t the only ship from the “shadow fleet” of oil tankers to switch lately to a ...

Even with simulation, critical failure modes like resonance-induced fatigue and connection looseness can emerge during ...

This paper presents a new triangular multi-layer nonlinear shell finite element with incremental degrees of freedom, suitable for large displacements and rotations. This is a nonconforming element ...

Abstract: In this paper, a shell finite element formulation to analyze highly deformable shell structures composed of homogeneous rubber-like materials is presented. The element is a triangular shell ...

A favorite snacking treat packed with fiber, antioxidants, and other nutrients, pistachios are said to do everything from aid in weight loss to improve gut health to help with blood pressure. And ...

Abstract: For finite element (FE) analysis of no-insulation (NI) high-temperature superconducting (HTS) pancake coils, the high aspect ratio of the turn-to-turn contact layer (T2TCL) leads to meshing ...

Figure 1. Front bumper beam and TAFNEX CF-PP UD sheet. ARRK Engineering optimized a CFRTP front bumper beam made using KraussMaffei’s FiberForm process and composite sheet made of TAFNEX carbon ...

The application of the wave propagation approach to the dynamics of periodic lattices has been originated by solid state physicists (Brillouin, 1953). In particular, the consequences of periodicity at ...

The periodic structure consists of repeating unit cells. Periodic structures can be found everywhere, from artificial multi-span bridges to naturally occurring atomic grids. Due to the high ...

Abstract: Thin-shell (TS) models are generally used in the analysis of thin regions with linear constitutive properties, although specialized versions of TS models have been developed for ...
