In the past few decades, the use of glass in buildings has remarkably increased. As a result, several transparent buildings have been constructed, in which the materials have almost disappeared. Given that the advancement of architecture is inextricably linked to the acquisition [...]

Abstract

The solid-shells are an attractive kind of element for the simulation of f orming processes, due to the fact that any kind of generic 3D constitutive law can be employed without any kind [...]

Abstract

A spatial transient contact problem with moving boundaries for a thin elastic cylindrical shell and a rigid indenter bounded by a smooth convex surface is considered. A closed mathematical formulation is given and a system of resolving equations is constructed. The main integral [...]
