Multi-Fidelity Modeling-Based Structural Reliability Analysis with the Boundary Element Method

Combining the Finite Element Method with Structural Connectome-based Analysis for Modeling Neurotrauma: Connectome Neurotrauma Mechanics

This article presents the integration of brain injury biomechanics and graph theoretical analysis of neuronal connections, or connectomics, to form a neurocomputational model that captures spatiotemporal characteristics of trauma. We relate localized mechanical brain damage predicted from biofidelic finite element simulations of the human head subjected to impact with degradation in the structu...

Evaluation of Fracture Parameters by Coupling the Edge-Based Smoothed Finite Element Method and the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method

This paper presents a technique to evaluate the fracture parameters by combining the edge based smoothed finite element method (ESFEM) and the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). A semi-analytical solution is sought in the region close to the vicinity of the crack tip using the SBFEM, whilst, the ESFEM is used for the rest of the domain. As both methods satisfy the partition of unity...

Time-domain analysis of transient structural acoustics problems based on the finite element method and a novel absorbing boundary element

This paper is concerned with the development of an efficient and accurate finite element procedure for the solution directly in the time domain of transient problems involving structures submerged in an infinite acoustic fluid. The central feature of the procedure is a novel impedance, or, absorbing boundary, element that is used to render the computational domain finite. This element is local ...
