With the eventual aim of describing flowing elasto-plastic materials, we focus on the elementary brick of such a flow, a plastic event, and compute the long-range perturbation it elastically induces in a medium submitted to a global shear…
We investigate the structure and mechanical behavior of assemblies of frictionless, nearly rigid equal-sized beads, in the quasistatic limit, by numerical simulation. Three different loading paths are explored: triaxial compression,…
During past few decades, several studies have been conducted to characterize the performance of in-service girder-type bridge superstructures under operating conditions. Few of these efforts have focused on evaluating the actual response of…
A thorough study of shear stress within the lattice Boltzmann method is provided. Via standard multiscale Chapman-Enskog expansion we investigate the dependence of the error in shear stress on grid resolution showing that the shear stress…
Topology optimization offers optimal material layouts, enabling automation in the design of devices. Given the recent advances in computer technology and additive manufacturing, topology optimization is increasingly being used to design…
Increasing the HMA base thickness and modifying the HMA mixture properties to improve the resistance to fatigue cracking are among the most popular methods for achieving long-lasting pavements. Such methods are based on the idea of reducing…
The aim of this work was to simulate the behaviour of hip prostheses under mechanical shocks. When hip joint is replaced by prosthesis, during the swing phase of the leg, a microseparation between the prosthetic head and the cup could…
Through high-fidelity numerical simulation, the effect of the arrangement of micropillars on the flow characteristics and momentum transport has been extensively investigated. The surface friction due to the complex flow characteristics and…
Experimental measurements of the response of a two dimensional system of plastic beads subjected to steady shear are reported. The beads float at the surface of a fluid substrate and are subjected to a slow, steady-shear in a Couette…
The onset and growth of rigid clusters in a two-dimensional (2D) suspension in shear flow are studied by numerical simulations. The suspension exhibits the lubricated-to-frictional rheology transition, but the key results here are for…
Load tests are an essential tool to verify the compliance of bridges with their design specifications and to assess their actual load-bearing capacity. In this paper, a series of static and dynamic load tests conducted on a concrete…
The onset of nonlinear effects in metals, such as plasticity and damage, is strongly influenced by the heterogeneous stress distribution at the grain level. This work is devoted to studying the local stress distribution of shear stresses…
We conduct extensive independent numerical experiments considering frictionless disks without internal degrees of freedom (rotation etc.) in two dimensions. We report here that for a large range of the packing fractions below random-close…
Amorphous solids display a ductile to brittle transition as the kinetic stability of the quiescent glass is increased, which leads to a material failure controlled by the sudden emergence of a macroscopic shear band in quasi-static…
In this paper, a force-based beam finite element model based on a modified higher-order shear deformation theory is proposed for the accurate analysis of functionally graded beams. In the modified higher-order shear deformation theory, the…
This study investigates the impact of finite element selection on structural topology optimization using the SIMP (Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization) method. Specifically, it compares linear (P1) and quadratic (P2) triangular…
We construct a mean-field elastoplastic description of the dynamics of amorphous solids under arbitrary time-dependent perturbations, building on the work of Lin and Wyart [Phys. Rev. X 6, 011005 (2016)] for steady shear. Local stresses are…
We conduct a numerical study of the transient phenomenon in pipelines transporting plastic Bingham slurry flows, using a lowest-order finite element method (FEM). While most pipeline hammer studies focus on Newtonian fluids, the transient…
For the fatigue life of thin-walled components, not only fatigue crack initiation, but also crack growth is decisive. The phase-field method for fracture is a powerful tool to simulate arbitrary crack phenomena. Recently, it has been…
The aim of this study was to check how efficient can be smoothed finite element method (FEM) for solution of the linear fracture mechanics problems. Accuracy of stress intensity factor (SIF) computation were investigated using three types…
