FE modeling of thermo‐elasto‐plastic finite deformation and its application in sheet warm forming

H.L. Xing, A. Makinouchi

In this paper, a strategy for analyzing a problem of the transient thermal coupling with the elastoplastic finite deformation is presented. A general constitutive equation is…

Judder vibration in disc brakes excited by thermoelastic instability

Oscar Altuzarra, Enrique Amezua, Rafael Avilés, Alfonso Hernández

Friction vibrations and noises which are common in brakes, have attracted a great deal of attention lately. This paper analyses low frequency vibrations in disc brakes excited at…

On the robustness of a simple domain reduction scheme for simulation‐based optimization

Nielen Stander, K.J. Craig

This paper evaluates a Successive Response Surface Method (SRSM) specifically developed for simulation‐based design optimization, e.g. that of explicit nonlinear dynamics in…

Mixed 2D and beam formulation for modeling sandwich structures

Ilya V. Avdeev, Alexei I. Borovkov, Olga L. Kiylo, Michael R. Lovell, Dipo Onipede

This paper presents a new finite element (FE) approach to modeling edge effects in beam sandwich structures. The approach is based on a mixed 2D and beam formulation conjuncted by…

A Laplace transformation dual‐reciprocity boundary element method for a class of two‐dimensional microscale thermal problems

Whye‐Teong Ang

The numerical solution of a two‐dimensional thermal problem governed by a third‐order partial differential equation derived from a non‐Fourier heat flux model which may account…
