selecting material is one of the most important phases in product design and manufacturing process of any physical product. choosing the optimal possibility for production among vast variety of materials that are being developed in diversity and number is a very difficult, lengthy and expensive process which makes it one of the major challenges of engineers and designers. approximately always m...

This paper presents a novel procedure for solving the equations system of the rotating crack model used for reinforced concrete. It is implemented in the programme NonOPt where it is used to optimise the reinforcement design of D regions. The procedure is based on solving explicit closed-form relations without the need to incrementally increase the applied loads. The solution procedure is based...
