TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive finite element (FE) modeling procedure is developed to simulate structural integrity and damage in composite wind turbine (WT) blades using ANSYS software, and the three-dimensional blade model is analyzed by carrying out geometrically nonlinear FE analysis to investigate the blade deformation and highly stressed regions leading to possible failure modes.

TL;DR: In this article, an elastic-plastic finite-element model was developed to obtain detailed mechanical information for thermoplastic polyurethane (PU) elastomers and the graphene oxide (GO) composite material with enhanced properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, the morphological features of lift-off footprints on the aluminium metallization pads were investigated to gain an understanding of the effects of bonding parameters on formation of initial bonds during thermosonic gold ball bonding.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-scale computational approach was explored and implemented as a user-defined material subroutine (VUMAT) for ABAQUS/Explicit to capture main damage modes of a braided textile composite, while its delamination was modelled by employing cohesive-zone elements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the turning of single-crystal copper with the use of particle hydrodynamics (SPH) has been investigated using a commercial software package ABAQUS/Explicit using a user-defined subroutine.
