7th International Symposium on Solid Mechanics - Special Issue

Abstract

This shows the high level of the event in terms of the presentations and the works published in the Procedures of MECSOL 2019. This Special Issue publishes improved and enlarged versions of 10 (ten) articles presented at MECSOL 2019, which covered different topics such as Fatigue and Failure Analyses; Composite Materials and Structures; Elasticity, Plasticity, Damage and Fracture Mechanics: Models, Experiments and Applications; Viscoelasticity and Viscoplasticity: Models, Experiments and Applications; Impact Engineering; Structural Reliability Methods and Reliability-Based Design Optimization; Optimization of Materials, Fluids and Structures; Numerical Methods: FEM, XFEM, GFEM, BEM and others methods; Nonlinear Analyses: Buckling, Post-Buckling and Contact Analyses. In other words, this Special Issue is devoted to scientists and engineers, who are investigating recent developments in analysis and state-of-the-art techniques on Solid Mechanics.Lima et al.[1] described an analysis of the dynamic response of coupled soil-pile-foundation systems. This work presents the influence of three issues on the vertical dynamic foundation response. The analysis presented in the article allows an in-depth understanding of the dynamic response of coupled soil-pile-foundation systems.Pellizzer et al.[2] discussed the time-dependent reliability of reinforced concrete considering the boundary element method. Corrosion of reinforcing bars caused by chloride ions is one of the main pathological manifestations. Therefore, the time-variant reliability problem is solved using Monte Carlo simulation with several applications.The exact solution for the buckling problem of cylindrical panels have been presented by Soares et al. [3]. These structures have frames attached to the circular edges. The boundary conditions differ from the classical simply supported ones, often assumed for design purposes, in the sense that the torsion resisted by the frames are also taken into account. Results are reported for valuable benchmarks in future studies.Anisotropic damage propagation has been presented by Petrini et al.[4] using a thermodynamically consistent phase field framework. In particular the present approach is adapted to include the effect of preferential cleavage planes 7th International Symposium on Solid Mechanics -Special Issue V. Tita et al.
