Rayleigh-type waves in magneto-elastic half-space containing voids

Rayleigh-type surface waves propagating in a magneto-elastic half-space containing voids are studied. Dispersion equation is derived under suitably constructed boundary conditions, which involves elastic, electro-magnetic, void parameters and …

Finite element formulation for higher-order shear deformation beams using two-phase local/nonlocal integral model

In this paper, the static and dynamic analysis of the higher-order shear deformation nanobeam is investigated within the framework of the two-phase local/nonlocal integral model, in which, the stress is described as the integral convolution form …

Nonlinear flexoelectricity in extended thermodynamics

A nonlinear phenomenological model of flexoelectricity in thermoelastic solids is presented within the frame of continuum mechanics and extended thermodynamics, incorporating the quasi-electrostatic approximation where the time derivative of the …

Computational modeling of cracking in cortical bone microstructure using the mesh fragmentation technique

The cortical bone is a hierarchical composite material that, at the microscale, is segmented in an interstitial matrix, cement line, osteons, and Haversian canals. The cracking of the structure at this scale directly influences the macro behavior …

Numerical methodology to model offshore systems composed of slender structures

Subsea systems for oil exploitation and renewable offshore energy generally employ cables, hoses, risers, umbilical and power energy cables, mooring lines, among other slender components. From the global modeling perspective, all such “lines” can …
