As there are different computational methods for simulating problems in generalized mechanics, we present simple applications and their closed-form solutions verifying a numerical implementation. For such benchmark, utilize these analytical examine three-dimensional simulations by the finite element method (FEM) using IsoGeometric Analysis (IGA) with aid of open source codes, called tIGAr, deve...

In the perspective of homogenization theory, strain-gradient elasticity is a strategy to describe overall behavior materials with coarse mesostructure. this approach, effect mesostructure described by use three tensors whose orders vary from 4 6. Higher-order constitutive make it possible rich physical phenomena. However, these objects have intricate algebraic structures that prevent us having ...

Acknowledging that what is currently defined as ‘pressure’ should not have reason to exist without the existence of a gravity field, the connection between thermodynamics and gravity can be easily made clear. Comprehensive thermo-gravitational equilibrium conditions may be defined without raising any doubt about the validity of the conventional thermodynamic and gravitational equilibrium condit...

The principles of origami design have proven useful in a number technological applications. Origami tessellations particular constitute class morphing metamaterials with unusual geometric and elastic properties. Although inextensible principle, fine creases allow to effectively deform non-isometrically. Determining the strains that are compatible coarse-grained kinematics as well corresponding ...

Abstract A common method in experimental mechanics is 3D digital image correlation (DIC) for determining deformations of curved surfaces, whereby the motion material points measured. The temperatures induced by deformation surfaces or other heat sources are particular interest as well. In this context, surface can be measured using infrared thermography systems. However, disadvantage approach t...

This paper discusses some recent developments within a compositional environment called PWGL. Our focus is to present how score information is represented in PWGL. We give some background information concerning the rhythmic notation that was used in PatchWork (a predecessor of PWGL). After this we show how this notation has been expanded so that it allows to generate very detailed scores that c...
