Abstract

Este artículo presenta un nuevo procedimiento con el que simular el fallo por delaminación en materiales compuestos. El método propuesto utiliza la teoría de mezclas serie/paralelo, desarrollada por Fernando Rastellini, para la caracterización constitutiva del material compuesto. [...]

Abstract

A fully geometric and constitutive nonlinear model for the description of the dynamic behavior of beam structures is developed. The
proposed formulation is based on the geometrically exact formulation for beams due to Simo but, in this article an intermediate curved
reference [...]

Abstract

In this work, the nonlinear dynamic response of RC buildings with energy dissipating devices is studied using advanced computational techniques. A fully geometric and constitutive nonlinear model is used for describing the dynamic behavior of structures. The equations of motion [...]

Abstract

This work presents the composite materials applied to Water Current Turbine (WCT) hydrokinetic turbines. Here will be briefly described the features of these turbines, the fluid-dynamic behavior of the rotor, and its structure formed into a composite material. From the structural [...]

Abstract

An optimization method to identify the material parameters of composite structures using an inverse method is proposed. This methodology compares experimental results with their numerical reproduction using the finite element method in order to obtain an estimation of the error [...]

Abstract

The strengthening of concrete structures with laminates of carbon fibers CFRP (Carbon Fibers Reinforced Polymer) began in the 1980s. Nowdays, this technology is one of the most promising one because of the good mechanical properties of laminates and their easy hand-work. Laminates [...]

Abstract

A geometrically non‐linear formulation for composites and the resulting explicit dynamic finite element algorithm are presented. The proposed formulation assumes that small elastic and [...]
