TL;DR: In this article, a phase field based peridynamics (PD) model is proposed to model the interfacial cohesive damage through degradation functions and the fracture or fragmentation through the critical energy release rate.

TL;DR: In this article, a least-squares based finite element formulation for numerical solution of viscous fluid flows governed by the Navier-Stokes equations is presented, as an alternate approach to the well-known weak form Galerkin finite element formulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of material properties, nonlocal parameter, Lorentz and electric forces on maximum static deflections and natural frequencies of actuated hybrid carbon/boron-nitride nanotubes (CBNNT) subjected to thermal loads are studied for the first time.

TL;DR: In this article, closed-form and finite-element solutions are presented for thermal bending and stretching of laminated composite plates, where the material of each layer is assumed to be elastically and thermo-elastic orthotropic and bimodular, having different properties depending upon whether the fiber-direction normal strain is tensile or compressive.
