Non-local damage modelling of quasi-brittle composites

Jiří Vala, Vladislav Kozák (2021)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Most building materials can be characterized as quasi-brittle composites with a cementitious matrix, reinforced by some stiffening particles or elements. Their massive exploitation motivates the development of numerical modelling and simulation of behaviour of such material class under mechanical, thermal, etc. loads, including the evaluation of the risk of initiation and development of micro- and macro-fracture. This paper demonstrates the possibility of certain deterministic prediction,...

Displacement and stress analysis of laminated composite plates using an eight-node quasi-conforming solid-shell element

Yu Wang, Guangyu Shi, Xiaodan Wang (2017)

Curved and Layered Structures

Similarity:

This paper presents the efficient modeling and analysis of laminated composite plates using an eightnode quasi-conforming solid-shell element, named as QCSS8. The present element QCSS8 is not only lockingfree, but highly computational efficiency as it possesses the explicit element stiffness matrix. All the six components of stresses can be evaluated directly by QCSS8 in terms of the 3-D constitutive equations and the appropriately assumed element strain field. Several typical numerical...

Mathematical and numerical modelling of piezoelectric sensors

Sebastien Imperiale, Patrick Joly (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

The present work aims at proposing a rigorous analysis of the mathematical and numerical modelling of ultrasonic piezoelectric sensors. This includes the well-posedness of the final model, the rigorous justification of the underlying approximation and the design and analysis of numerical methods. More precisely, we first justify mathematically the classical quasi-static approximation that reduces the electric unknowns to a scalar electric potential. We next justify the reduction of the...

Core and equilibria in models of large household economy

Maria Ekes (2003)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The paper deals with models of household economy with infinitely many agents classified into a finite number of types. The notions of competitive equilibrium, core and quasi-core are examined with special emphasis on their mutual relations.
