The effects of material constants on the micropolar elastic honeycomb structure with negative Poisson's ratio using the finite element method

Fuang‐Yuan Huang, Biing‐Hwa Yan, Der‐Uei Yang

To investigate the relation between the Poisson's ratio of a re‐entrant honeycomb structure by varying the micropolar material constants such as micropolar Young's modulus E_m…

Reliability of reinforced concrete structures using stochastic finite elements

Herbert Martins Gomes, Armando Miguel Awruch

In this paper, special emphasis is given to uncertainties in the evaluation of the structural behavior, looking for a better representation of the system characteristics and…

Thermo‐hydro‐mechanical modelling of high performance concrete at high temperatures

Bernhard A. Schrefler, Carmelo E. Majorana, Gabriel A. Khoury, Dariusz Gawin

This paper presents the physical, mathematical and numerical models forming the main structure of the numerical analysis of the thermal, hydral and mechanical behaviour of normal…

Parallel computation of two‐dimensional rotational flows of viscoelastic fluids in cylindrical vessels

A. Baloch, P.W. Grant, M.F. Webster

The numerical simulation of two‐dimensional incompressible complex flows of viscoelastic fluids is presented. The context is one, relevant to the food industry (dough kneading)…

Stochastic problem of fiber‐reinforced composite with interface defects

Marcin Kamin´ski

The main purpose of the paper is to propose a new approach to stochastic computational modeling of interface defects in fiber‐reinforced composites. Interface defects with random…
