The response to shear of the dense soft solids features a stress overshoot and a persistent shear banding before reaching a homogeneously flowing state. In 3D large scale simulations we analyze the time required for the onset of homogeneous…
Amorphous solids are yield stress materials that flow when a sufficient load is applied. Their flow consists of periods of elastic loading interrupted by rapid stress drops, or avalanches, coming from microscopic rearrangements known as…
Enhancing seismic fragility and risk assessment of nuclear power plants relies on accurate prediction of reactor building responses to seismic hazards, which can be further improved through dynamic analysis of high-fidelity finite element…
By mixing glass beads with a curable polymer we create a well-defined cohesive granular medium, held together by solidified, and hence elastic, capillary bridges. This material has a geometry similar to a wet packing of beads, but with an…
Numerous TCC (timber-concrete composite) systems have been proposed and studied in recent years. Most of the studies have focused on the behaviour of the timber-concrete shear connection and the flexural behaviour of floor elements. This…
To avoid the impact of inherent natural imperfections on experimental outcomes during testing, a recently designed genuine triaxial apparatus has enabled the replication of conditions where the three principal stresses exhibit varying…
A hybrid RANS/LES framework is developed based on a recently proposed Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) model combined with a variant of recycling and rescaling method of generating inflow turbulence. This framework was…
The effect of grid resolution on large eddy simulation (LES) of wall-bounded turbulent flow is investigated. A channel flow simulation campaign involving systematic variation of the streamwise ($\Delta x$) and spanwise ($\Delta z$) grid…
This work develops an elasto-plastic cell-based smoothed finite element method (CSFEM) for geotechnical analysis. The formulation incorporates a smoothed strain field into the standard elasto-plastic framework based on the Mohr-Coulomb…
This paper develops stable finite element pairs for the linear stress gradient elasticity model, overcoming classical elasticity's limitations in capturing size effects. We analyze mesh conditions to establish parameter-robust error…
The mechanical problem discussed in this paper focuses on the stress state estimation in a composite laminate in the vicinity of a free edge or microcracks. To calculate these stresses, we use two models called Multiparticle Models of…
Thin beams made of magnetorheological elastomers embedded with hard magnetic particles (hard-MREs) are capable of large deflections under an applied magnetic field. We propose a comprehensive framework, comprising a beam model and 3D finite…
The mechanical response of biological soft tissues is influenced by wall heterogeneity, including spatial variations in wall thickness. Traditional models for homogeneous soft tissues under uniaxial loading predict higher stretch and stress…
Critical sized bone defects remain a major clinical challenge, requiring scaffolds that combine mechanical stability with regenerative capacity. Functionally graded (FG) scaffolds, inspired by the graded architecture of native bone, offer a…
Icing on three-dimensional wings causes severe flow separation near stall. Standard improved delayed detached eddy simulation (IDDES) is unable to correctly predict the separating reattaching flow due to its inability to accurately resolve…
In this work we propose a low rank approximation of high fidelity finite element simulations by utilizing weights corresponding to areas of high stress levels for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, i.e. a deformed blood vessel. We focus on the…
Understanding the role played by the microstructure of materials on their macroscopic failure properties is an important challenge in solid mechanics. Indeed, when a crack propagates at a heterogeneous brittle interface, the front is…
Erosion poses a great challenge in multi-phase mass flows as it drastically changes flow behavior and deposition pattern by dramatically increasing their masses, adversely affecting population and civil structures. There exists no…
Spatial heterogeneity in the elastic properties of soft random solids is investigated via a two-pronged approach. First, a nonlocal phenomenological model for the elastic free energy is examined. This features a quenched random kernel,…
Sheared granular layers undergoing stick slip behavior are broadly employed to study the physics and dynamics of earthquakes. Here, a two dimensional implementation of the combined finite discrete element method (FDEM), which merges the…
