On the suitability of a 3D discrete element method to model the composite damage induced by thermal expansion mismatch

TL;DR: In this paper, the suitability of a 3D discrete element method to simulate the thermal-induced damage in composite materials using a cohesive beam model was investigated and compared with the finite element method (FEM) and analytical formulations.

Design of Piles for Integral Abutment Bridges

TL;DR: In this article, a finite element program for the soil-pile system was developed with materially and geometrically nonlinear, two and three-dimensional beam elements and with a nonlinear Winkler soil model with vertical, horizontal, and pile tip springs.

Using Describing Functions for Limit-Cycle-Oscillation Analysis Applied to Aeroservoelastic Models with Free-Play

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed analytical tools using describing functions for establishing free-play limits on aeroservoelastic aircraft systems without adverse consequences, justifying relaxation or validating the conservative requirements.

Gain in computational efficiency by vectorization in the dynamic simulation of multi-body systems

TL;DR: A new technique developed for increasing the computational efficiency of the dynamic simulation of multi-body systems, providing the computer code with the speed of execution, which is an order of magnitude ahead of the procedure outlined in S. Ider and F. Amirouche (1989).
