The objective of this work is to describe the design and implementation of a framework for
building multi-disciplinary finite element programs. The main goals are generality …

The intrinsic inability to withstand compression is a challenge in numerical simulation of a
membrane with the finite element method. Basically there are two possibilities to deal with …

In this paper we suggest some algorithms for the fluid–structure interaction problem stated
using a domain decomposition framework. These methods involve stabilized pressure …

In this paper we propose a Finite Element model for analyzing closed membranes (“bags”)
interacting with internal and external (surrounding) fluids. The approach is based on …

The world of computing simulation has experienced great progresses in recent years and
requires more exigent multidisciplinary challenges to satisfy the new upcoming demands …

Considering wrinkling as an analogue to perfect plasticity, this study employs the projection
method from inelasticity model to take into account wrinkling of thin membranes. Along the …

We propose here an efficient approach for treating the interaction between membranes and
fluids. Slight compressibility of the fluid is assumed. Classical total Lagrangian formulation …

Literally, a pneumatic membrane structure is a gas-filled type inflatable membrane whose
interaction of the surrounding membrane and the enclosed gas (fluid) determines its …

The proposal of an artificial bladder is still a challenge to overcome. Bladder cancer is
among the most frequent cases of oncologic diseases in United States and Europe. It is …

The analysis of the interaction between a fluid flow and any object represents a classical
challenge for modern numerical techniques. A one-dimensional model is presented for the …
