The computational modeling of many engineering problems using the Finite Element method involves the modeling of two or more bodies that meet through an interface. The interface can be physical, as in multi-physics and contact problems, or…
The finite element simulation of dynamic wetting phenomena, requiring the computation of flow in a domain confined by intersecting a liquid-fluid free surface and a liquid-solid interface, with the three-phase contact line moving across the…
Interaction of corrugated steel plates with surrounding soil medium causes the investigation of seismic behavior of soil-steel structures to be complicated. Reviewing the available literature confirms the considerable scarceness in this…
We present a computational framework for simulating filaments interacting with rigid bodies through contact. Filaments are challenging to simulate due to their codimensionality, i.e., they are one-dimensional structures embedded in…
We present a methodology to simulate the mechanics of knots in elastic rods using geometrically nonlinear, full three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. We focus on the mechanical behavior of knots in tight configurations, for which…
Contact involving soft materials often combines dry adhesion, sliding friction, and large deformations. At the local level, these three aspects are rarely captured simultaneously, but included in the theoretical models by Mergel et al.…

Two-dimensional (planar) rigid-body impact mechanics for application in automobile collisions have been described by a number of researchers over the last several decades. Little has been discussed, however, regarding three-dimensional…
An algorithm for three-dimensional dynamic vehicle-track-structure interaction (VTSI) analysis is described in this paper. The algorithm is described in terms of bridges and high-speed trains, but more generally applies to multibody systems…
