Abstract

This paper deals with the unified formulation of linear models in rod elastostatics and, specifically, with the class of models including generalized displacements that are additional to those defining rigid body motions of the cross-sections. The main feature of these models, [...]

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the general formulation of linear problems in rod elastostatics, and with the identification of their common formal and structural features, valid for every kinematical hypothesis. The generalized variables (section forces and generalized deformations) [...]

Abstract

This paper presents a parametric study of the offset frontal impact on a bus, in which is assessed independently an influence of each variable involved in this accident type. The scenario of offset frontal impact is surely one of the most severe accidents involving buses, once [...]
