This paper discusses the question posed in the title and available options for the structural
analysis of metallic and composite structures concerning the choice of 1D, 2D, and 3D …

This work investigates the crack propagation in composites by adopting a novel full three-
dimensional (3D) Hashin-based orthotropic damage model combined with higher-order one …

A data-rich framework is presented to consistently characterise the macroscopic strain-
softening response of laminated composites subjected to compressive loading. First, a …

Due to the stress concentration caused by the hole, failure of composite structures is prone
to start in the vicinity of the hole edge. Thereby, it is very necessary to investigate the failure …

A refined progressive damage analysis of fiber-reinforced laminated composites subjected
to compressive loads is presented here. The numerical analysis exploits higher-order …

This research reported the influences of combined damage (delamination and crack) on the
layered structure numerically via finite element technique in a higher-order mathematical …

Uncontrolled curing-induced residual stress is a significant limitation to the efficient design of
thermoset composite structures, and a sufficiently high post-cure stress state can …

With the rise of data-driven engineering methods, such as machine learning, a
comprehensive understanding of the underlying data fed into these algorithms is required …

This paper presents the numerical damage analysis of concrete structures using higher-
order beam theories based on Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF). The concrete constitutive …

The effects of vibrations in vehicles range from simple noise and reduced comfort, to
decreased performance, from wear and material fatigue to irreversible failures and danger …
