As an emerging waterless fracturing technology, supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2)
fracturing can reduce reservoir damage and dependence on water resources, and can also …

A systematic literature review on numerical strategies suitable to simulate defects and
discontinuities in layered and sandwich structures is presented here. Particular care is given …

This paper presents a novel FE modeling approach based on Moving Mesh technique to
reproduce crack propagation mechanisms in Functionally Graded Materials. The moving …

This paper proposes an effective FE modeling for simulating fracture propagation in linear
elastic media under mechanical and thermal loadings. The model joins Moving Mesh (MM) …

Correspondence-based peridynamics (CBPD) is attractive and promising because of its
outstanding ability to employ the traditional constitutive relations for material modeling …

The existence of damages in structures causes changes in the physical properties by
reducing the modal parameters. In this paper, we develop a two-stages approach based on …

A new methodology to predict interfacial debonding phenomena in fibre-reinforced polymer
(FRP) concrete beams in the serviceability load condition is proposed. The numerical model …

A field-enriched finite element method for crack propagation in fiber-reinforced composite
lamina without remeshing is proposed. In the field-enriched finite element method, the …

Sandwich structures are widely used for the design and fabrication of lightweight structural
systems, due to their capability to exhibit excellent structural and thermal performances at …

Fractured coal masses, characterized by a low elastic modulus and a large filtration
coefficient, are often subjected to a complex hydro-mechanical-damage (HMD) coupling …
