TL;DR: In this article, a two-step approach for the FE limit analysis of FRP reinforced curved masonry structures is presented, in which a simplified kinematic procedure is proposed at a cell level to obtain macroscopic masonry behavior in the case of unreinforced masonry curved structures.

••
TL;DR: In this paper, an elastic-viscoplastic single crystal constitutive model implemented in a finite element framework is proposed to capture the influence of the complex interactions that ensue among the constituent individual crystals of a polycrystal in controlling the texture evolution in the sample.

••
TL;DR: In this paper, a new analytical method for calculating the stiffness of two-dimensional tri-axial braided composites is presented, where a unit cell has been introduced as a representative cell of a braided composite and its components.

TL;DR: In this paper, a statistically random volume sampling approach has been employed to evaluate the microstructural and property volume element sizes necessary for the assessment of volume fraction, surface-area to volume ratio and permeability, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, the temperature distribution in a volume element of three-dimensional and four-directional braided composites is studied with appropriate boundary conditions by the finite element method (FEM) to predict the effective thermal conductivity of the composite.
