The present study aims at investigating the delamination behavior of laminated composites
in different loading modes within a homogenization theory of mixtures. The delamination …

This work presents a novel numerical methodology to model the degradation and failure of
composite materials like GFRP submitted to monotonic and high cycle fatigue loads. This is …

This review analyzes numerical techniques for frictional contact problems, highlighting their
strengths and limitations in addressing inherent nonlinearities and computational demands …

The performance of existing prestressed concrete (PC) beams and their time-dependent
behavior have been concerns for bridge maintenance services. In this paper, laboratory …

Multiple collisions of granules on a substrate are encountered in a wide range of
applications. In this work, such multiple collisions are analysed using Collisional Smooth …

Within the computational contact mechanics community, the dual-mortar method with the
Generalized-α method has become the state-of-the-art method for modeling contact dynamic …
