Natural fractured rocks usually contain background granular media and multi-scale fractures. The coordination number is a crucial factor to characterize the connection of microstructural elements. determination numbers for modeling essential interpret distribution cracks related micromechanical properties. We have built consistent workflow discrete element models (DEMs) coupled with fracture ne...

in order to reduce both the weight of vehicles and the damage of occupants in a crash event simultaneously, it is necessary to perform a multi-objective optimization of the automotive energy absorbing components. in this paper, axial impact crushing behavior of the aluminum foam-filled thin-walled tubes are studied by the finite element method using commercial software abaqus. comparison of the...

in this paper, exact solution for two-plane transverse vibration analysis of axial-loaded multi-step timoshenko rotor carrying concentrated masses is presented. each attached element is considered to have both translational and rotational inertia. forward and backward frequencies and corresponding modes are obtained using transfer matrix method (tmm). the effect of the angular velocity of spin,...

MultiFEBE integrates multiple finite element and boundary models for solving linear static time harmonic multi-domain interaction problems within the field of computational mechanics. It allows to couple bounded or unbounded two- three-dimensional continuum inviscid fluids, elastic solids poroelastic media with beam shell structural elements. This paper summarizes numerical methods implemented ...
