Abstract
Commonly, in the evaluation of the optical appearance of glass panes in building envelopes, anisotropies are a reason for a dispute between the architect or client and the façade manufacturer. Sometimes each party has a different perception, how strong the anisotropies are and what [...]Abstract
We present an application on springback of an anisotropic elastoplastic finite strain model. The computational procedure allows the sole use of internal elastic variables as it is fully hyperelastic. Based on the Lee-type multiplicative decomposition, which permits an additive solution [...]Abstract
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are soft materials, which are capable of large deformations induced by temperature changes and ultraviolet irradiation [1]. Therefore, since many years, these materials are under investigation in experimental researches as actuator materials. LCEs [...]Abstract
A model order reduction technique in combination with mesh tying is used to efficiently simulate a large number of different structures that are assembled from a set of substructures. The stiffness matrices of the substructures are computed separately and assembled into a global stiffness [...]
