Finite Element Simulation of Radial Tire Building and Shaping Processes Using an Elasto-Viscoplastic Model

Simulation of long-term consolidation behavior of soft sensitive clay using an elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model

Finite element formulation for modelling large deformations in elasto-viscoplastic polycrystals

Anisotropic, elasto-viscoplastic behaviour in polycrystalline materials is modelled using a new, updated Lagrangian formulation based on a three-field form of the Hu-Washizu variational principle to create a stable finite element method in the context of nearly incompressible behaviour. The meso-scale is characterized by a representative volume element, which contains grains governed by single ...

simulation of tire-soil interaction using nonlinear finite element method with matlab

in this study, a simulation of tire–soil interaction model was considered with special view to two-dimensional (2-d) fem model of carcass. coefficients of mechanical behavior of silty-loam soil were accurately measured to obtain an effective simulation. the results of simulation which was implemented in matlab7, showed that the radial-ply tire had greater tractive efficiency than bias tire at t...

Elasto-Plastic Constitutive Model for Finite Element Simulation of structural Adhesives

Considered by the automotive industry as a good solution to bond car body parts together, structural adhesives must be integrated in the early design process of vehicles, hence in the finite element analysis. A first difficulty when modeling structural adhesives comes from their complex mechanical pressure-dependent behaviour as well as their load-dependent strength. These aspects make them imp...

BES with FEM: Building Energy Simulation using Finite Element Methods

An overall objective of energy efficiency in the built environment is to improve building and systems performances in terms of durability, comfort and economics. In order to predict, improve and meet a certain set of performance requirements related to the indoor climate of buildings and the associated energy demand, building energy simulation (BES) tools are indispensable. Due to the rapid dev...
