Composite laminated plates are structural elements with a high strength/weight ratio, being
very popular in the aeronautic industry. This work analyses such structural elements using …

In this work the natural neighbour radial point interpolation method (NNRPIM), an improved
meshless method, is extended to the bone remodelling analysis. A biomechanical model for …

In this work, a novel anisotropic material law for the mechanical behaviour of the bone tissue
is proposed. This new law, based on experimental data, permits to correlate the bone …

An innovative numerical approach, combining the simplicity of low-order finite elements
connectivity with the geometric flexibility of Meshless methods, is extended to the elastostatic …

The present study provides a nonlocal beam model for the stress analysis of beams bonded
with modulus adhesives using Peridynamic Least Square Minimization (PDLSM) and …

This work shows the advantages of using meshless methods to study the bone tissue
remodelling phenomenon. The meshless method used in this work is the Natural Neighbour …

Due to its random fibre distribution across the cross-section and their anisotropic and
heterogeneous characteristic, the prediction of the mechanical behaviour of fibre composite …

In the present work, the Natural Neighbor Radial Point Interpolation Method (NNRPIM) is
used to simulate the crack growth phenomenon in brittle materials. In order to discretize the …

In this work the bone tissue remodelling analysis of the femur bone due to the insertion of a
stem is analysed. The innovation of this numerical application lies on the use of an efficient …

One of the most challenging problems in computational mechanics is the prediction of the
crack propagation path. In this work, the Natural Neighbour Radial Point Interpolation …
