The formulation solves the equations of the Stress Approach Model for Functionally Graded …

This article presents a different polynomial interpolation function based dynamic finite
element model to study and analyze the mechanical behavior of bidirectional functionally …

In the present day, non-ductile reinforced concrete (RC) members have still appeared in
certain parts of the existing old buildings and bridges. These structures always exhibit shear …

A constrained variational modeling method to predict the static and dynamic behaviors of the
large deflection non-uniform beam under arbitrary boundary conditions is proposed in this …

The use of composite materials in several sectors has been gaining distinction in recent
years. However, due to their high costs, as well as unique characteristics, they present …

Defect control of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) masks using pellicles is challenging for mass
production in EUV lithography because EUV pellicles require more critical fabrication than …

The nonlinear analysis of large complex reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures with
shear‐critical members requires numerical approaches that combine high accuracy and …

Glulam timber structural linear elements often show low span-to-depth ratios. Moreover,
timber is intrinsically orthotropic with very low shear moduli. These two circumstances justify …

Composite materials present challenging gaps to be studied due to their unique
characteristics. The finite element method has been used to analyze composite materials …

Under thermal cycling loading, solder joint fatigue is a common failure mechanism for wafer-
level packaging (WLP). 3D finite element method is often applied to estimate this solder …
