Optimum First Failure Loads of Sandwich Plates/Shells and Vibrations of Incompressible Material Plates
… sandwich shell's (plate's) geometries and materials and fiber angles of unidirectional fiber-reinforced face sheets for it to have the maximum first failure load under quasistatic (blast) loads. The analyses employ a third-order shear and normal deformable plate/shell theory (TSNDT), the …

Surface and interfacial waves and deformations in pre-stressed elastic materials
… of surface and interfacial waves in elastic materials. Following a review of the classical theory of Rayleigh and Stoneley waves for linear elastic materials we consider first the propagation of infinitesimal surface waves on a half-space of incompressible material subject to a general pure …

Active contraction of the left ventricle with cardiac tissue modelled as a micromorphic medium
… behaviour as well as the complex hierarchical material structure of biological tissues. In general, cardiac tissue is treated as a non-linear elastic and incompressible material. Most computational studies employ the theories of classical continuum mechanics to model the passive response of the …

Reduced-Order Modeling and Design Optimization of Thermomechanical Shape Memory Alloy-Based Bistable Microactuators and Hyperelastic Material Systems
… computational approaches for modeling complex material behavior, focusing on shape memory alloys (SMAs) and hyperelastic materials. The goal is to improve both prediction accuracy and computational efficiency in simulations used for designing advanced materials and bistable microactuators. The …

Splitting solution scheme for material point method
Material point method (MPM) is a numerical tool which was originally used for modelling large deformations of solid mechanics problems. Due to the particle based spatial discretiza- tion, MPM is naturally capable of handling large mass movements together with topological changes. Further, the …
