Structural biological materials are multiphase composite materials in nature. Their
mechanical properties are extraordinary despite their weak constituents. This review aims to …

Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis (UA/SA) aid in assessing whether model complexity is
warranted and under what conditions. To support these analyses a variety of software tools …

This article tries to investigate the dynamic deflection response of exponentially functionally
graded material (E-FGM) nanoplate considering the role of porosities when embedded in a …

The compressive and tensile strength of high-performance concrete (HPC) is a highly
nonlinear function of its constituents. The significance of expert frameworks for predicting the …

Flexural properties is one of the important parameters for the evaluation of buried pipeline
ultraviolet cured-in-place pipe (UV-CIPP) rehabilitation effectiveness. The flexure failure …

The amount of transported sediment load by streams is a vital but high nonlinear dynamic
process in water resources management. In the current paper, two optimum predictive …

This study discusses the results from tests performed to investigate the tensile mechanical
characteristics of granite after exposure to heating and cooling treatments. The samples …

In this paper, we present a self-propagating Strong Discontinuity embedded Approach
(SDA) for quasi-brittle fracture. The method is based on the Statically Optimal Symmetric …

This paper presents a peridynamics-based computational approach for modelling blasting
induced rock fractures. A new non-ordinary state-based peridynamics approach is proposed …

The main goal of this work is to indicate the dynamic response of sandwich nanoplates with
a porous functionally graded (PFG) core using isogeometric analysis (IGA) based on the …
