TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an optimum deformation path for tubular hydroforming, the hydroforming limit of isotropic and anisotropic tubes subjected to internal hydraulic pressure, independent axial load or torque, based on the Hill's general theory for the uniqueness to the boundary value problem.

TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm for analyzing the transient thermal coupling with the frictional contact between the multiple elastic-plastic bodies in finite deformation is presented using the R-minimum strategy.

TL;DR: In this article, a simulation of the Southern California interacting fault system is presented to demonstrate the capability and usefulness of the finite element simulation platform for simulation of interacting fault systems, including the interface and module construction for the geometrical modeling (i.e. fault model construction) with the related available observation data, mesh generation, finite element modeling and result visualization.

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element method is proposed and used to deal with large-scale nonlinear contact friction problems in deformable rocks, together with the use of the node-to-point contact element strategy.

TL;DR: A unified description is obtained to describe the entire frictional behaviour of contact interfaces using the node-to-point contact element strategy proposed by the authors to handle the frictional contact between multiple finite-deformation bodies with stick and finite frictional slip.
