1. Fuzzy Boundary for Beams Vibrations in Vehicles
ABSTRACT This work aims to study the transversal motion of a car’s chassis, modeled by a beam and supported at its ends by two sets of spring-damper elements. A finite differences method is utilized along with Robin boundary conditions to solve the mathematical modeling. The constants of the boundary conditions are modeled by a fuzzy parameter obtained thr

2. Contact phenomena modeling in biological structures on the example of the implant-bone
Abstract The work presents modeling of interface phenomena in biological structures. Selected ways of numerical modeling of phenomena at the boundary of two materials by means of FEM methods are discussed. The work focuses on phenomena related to biological structures and their mutual interactions. Using an example of an implant-bone system, various techniqu

3. Strut-and-tie models for linear and nonlinear behavior of concrete based on topological evolutionary structure optimization (ESO)
Resumo A busca por sistemas resistentes representativos para estrutura de concreto requer profundo conhecimento sobre seu comportamento mecânico. Os modelos de bielas e tirantes são procedimentos clássicos utilizados no dimensionamento do concreto armado onde existem concentrações de tensão, as chamadas regiões descontínuas da estrutura. No entanto,

4. A Model Updating Method for Plate Elements Using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Modeling the Boundary Flexibility, Including Uncertainties on Material and Dimensional Properties
Abstract It is a well-known fact that, in a real engineering situation, fixtures are not ideally stiff, so numerical simulations using them are unlikely to present results that are consistent with the experimental ones. The present paper intends to describe a model updating methodology inserting translational and rotational springs in order to better represe

5. Sensitivity analysis of 3D frictional contact with BEM using complex-step differentiation
Abstract This paper presents a study of the complex step differentiation method applied to a parameter sensitivity analysis for 3D elastic contact problem. The analysis is performed with the Boundary Element Method (BEM) using discontinuous elements and the Generalized Newton Method with line search (GNMls). A standard BEM implementation is used and the cont

6. Numerical analysis of truss systems with stiffened flattened end-bars
Abstract Circular hollow sections are usually used in long-span roof truss systems. One of the typology for connecting elements in such structures involves the flattening of bar ends. This article presents the numerical analysis of a plane truss composed of circular hollow sections, in which diagonal bars have flattened ends. In this sense, a new flattening

7. Thermal analysis of steel-concrete composite cross sections via CS-ASA/FA
Abstract When exposed to high temperatures, such as in a fire situation, the physical and resistance characteristics of the materials employed in the structure deteriorate as the temperature increases. This fact promotes a considerable loss in the bearing capacity and stiffness of the structural system. The verification of a structure exposed to fire depends

8. Mechanical Behavior of Nano Structures Using Atomic-Scale Finite Element Method (AFEM)
Abstract This work presents a detailed description of the formulation and implementation of the Atomistic Finite Element Method AFEM, exemplified in the analysis of one- and two-dimensional atomic domains governed by the Lennard Jones interatomic potential. The methodology to synthesize element stiffness matrices and load vectors, the potential energy modifi

9. Time-Domain Three Dimensional BE-FE Method for Transient Response of Floating Structures Under Unsteady Loads
Abstract This paper presents a direct time-domain three dimensional (3D) numerical procedure to simulate the transient response of very large floating structures (VLFS) subjected to unsteady external loads as well as moving mass. The proposed procedure employs the Boundary Element and Finite Element methods (FEM-BEM). The floating structure and the surroundi

10. Effects of Partial Edge Loading and Fibre Configuration on Vibration and Buckling Characteristics of Stiffened Composite Plates
Abstract In this work, the influence of uniaxial and biaxial partial edge loads on buckling and vibration characteristics of stiffened laminated plates is examined by using finite element method. As the initial pre-buckling stress distributions within an element are highly non-uniform in nature for a given loading and edge conditions, the critical loads are

11. Investigation on Void Effect on Shear Stress Field in Bonded Stepped-Lap Joint
Abstract In this paper, an adhesively-bonded stepped-lap joint suffering from a void within its adhesive layer is investigated. The void separates the layer into two sections. The joint is under tensile load and materials are isotropic and assumed to behave as linear elastic. Classical elasticity theory is used to determine shear stress distribution in the s

12. Evaluation and comparison of behavior of corrugated steel plate shear walls
In this paper, the nonlinear behaviour of steel plate shear walls with corrugated plates under lateral pushover loading conditions in the models' top level has been analytically investigated by the finite element method. The one-storey frames have beams and columns as boundary elements. Steel plate shear walls are simulated using the finite element method, b
