Wave propagation due to impact through layered polymer composites

Transient responses of bi-layered structure based on generalized thermoelasticity: Interfacial conditions

“…And they are widely used in engineering practices, such as automotive, naval, and aerospace [1][2][3]. The stress analysis of these structures, even in thermal environment, plays a significant role in their optimization designs.…”

Thirty years of the finite volume method for solid mechanics

“…Care should be taken when interpreting the data, as the number of citations may not be directly proportional to impact on the field; for example, Weller et al [18] has by far the greatest number of citations; however, a significant percentage of its received citations are related to its computational fluid solid mechanics developments, rather than its solid mechanics contributions. Godunov-type - [342][343][344][345][346] [ [347][348][349][350][351][352] [ matrix-free -- [247,249,252,[376][377][378][379][380] [ 260,263,[381][382][383][384][385][386][387][388][389][390][391][392][393][394][395] meshless - [396] [ [397][398][399][400][401][402][403][404]…”

“…A number of prior developments within CFD provided the foundation for the seminal paper on the cell-centred finite volume method for solid mechanics by Demirdžić et al [2]. In the past three decades, the finite volume method for solid mechanics has developed in a number of directions, differing in terms of discretisation, solution methodology and overall philosophy, including: (a) implicit cell-centred methods, based on the original work of Demirdžić et al [132][133][134][135][136][137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144][145]; (b) staggered-grid methods ; (c) vertex-centred methods ; (d) methods for periodic heterogenous microstructures ; (e) Godunov-type approaches ; (f) matrix-free approaches [247,249,252,260,263,[376][377][378][379][380][381][382][383][384][385][386][387][388][389][390][391][392][393][394][395]; (h) meshless approaches ; as well as several others.…”

A Novel Approach to the Description of Constitutive Relations

“…Some new models have been recently developed to describe the complex response exhibited by some materials using the new general class of implicit constitutive relations with elastic bodies as the backbone, for both viscoelastic and inelastic response (Alagappan et al, 2014;Srinivasa, 2015, 2016). We shall not discuss these models here.…”
