The high cycle fatigue (HCF) of compressor rotor seriously affects the performance and
reliability of aircraft engine. Probabilistic HCF evaluation is an effective measure to quantify …

Solving transient heat transfer equations is required to understand the evolution of
temperature and heat flux. This physics is highly dependent on the materials and …

The complex-valued finite element method, ZFEM, is proposed as a new virtual crack
extension method to compute the energy release rate. The energy release rate is computed …

Sensitivity analysis of structural systems is important for identifying important parameters that
influence the dynamic response of a model. This paper describes an extension of the …

Weight functions are a critical component of a damage tolerance fracture control plan in that
they allow the stress intensity factor to be computed quickly from the stress along the …

Abstract The Complex-Step-Finite-Difference method (CSFDM) is a very simple
methodology that can be implemented in well known numerical techniques hel** to …

Phononic metamaterials (PMs) exhibit frequency ranges at which elastic waves are
attenuated called band gaps. However, this phenomenon is highly sensitive to geometrical …

Many modern structural health monitoring (SHM) systems use piezoelectric transducers to
induce and measure guided waves propagating in structures for structural damage …

In radiofrequency induced thermal procedures for cancer treatment, the temperature of the
cancerous tissue is raised over therapeutic values while maintaining the temperature of the …

This paper presents a new inverse analysis approach to sensitivity analysis and material
property identification in transient non-homogeneous and non-linear heat conduction …
