Abstract

In recent years, the attention of project managers has increased to reduce project execution time along with obtaining the desired quality in building projects. This has led researchers to develop time-cost balance models in which the quality factor is also considered. In this [...]

Abstract

We propose a new variational formulation for large deformations in dynamical systems made of 3D-fiber-reinforced composites. The formulation emanates from the dynamic variational approach based on the principle of virtual power. The use of higher-order gradient theory along with [...]
