The integration of topology optimization (TO) methods with Computer-Aided design (CAD)
arouses a growing interest for mechanical and structural design purposes. However …

A geometrical modelling scheme is presented to produce representative architectures for
discontinuous fibre composites, enabling downstream modelling of mechanical properties …

This paper presents a novel approach to coupling beam and solid elements. Connecting
standard beam elements with solid elements results in a situation where the solid part of the …

We have been involved in research work in the field of finite element analysis (FEA)
integration with computer aided design (CAD) for several years and have developed several …

In this paper, the collocation-based isogeometric boundary element method (IGABEM) is
combined with the isogeometric Reissner–Mindlin shell elements to conduct the mixed …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to present a simplified hybrid modeling (HYMOD)
approach which overcomes limitations regarding computational cost and permits the …

A Nitche's method is presented to couple different mechanical models. They include
coupling of a solid and a beam and of a solid and a plate. Both conforming and non …

A computational approach for the mixed-dimensional modeling of time-harmonic waves in
elastic structures is proposed. A two-dimensional (2D) structure is considered, that includes …

Instead of extracting mid-surfaces from computer-aided design model, an automatic
dimensional reduction approach is proposed, which simplifies the finite element analysis …

A computationally efficient and robust simulation method is presented in this work, for the
cyclic modeling of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The proposed hybrid modeling …
