Abstract

A novel algorithm to reproduce the arrangement of grains in polycrystalline materials was recently published by the authors. In this original approach, a dense package of circles (or spheres) [...]

Abstract

The non-linear behaviour ocurring in symmetrical angle-ply laminates formed by unidirectional layers of carbon fiber reinforced polymeric matrix (CFRP), known as pseudo-ductility, has been previously studied numerically and experimentally under different uniaxial, biaxial and bending [...]

Abstract

The brick and tile of the existing masonry structures are precious, so it is not feasible that the components are used as the dismantling unit for maintenance and reinforcement. The homogenization method is an ef ective multi-scale calculation method, which can be used to establish [...]
