Numerical modelling of thin anisotropic membrane under dynamic load

Modelling anisotropic damage and permeability of mortar under dynamic loads

This paper deals with the development of a model for concrete subjected to dynamic loads. Shock waves are generated by Pulsed Arc Electro-hydraulic Discharges (PAED) in water and applied to mortar samples. A diphasic model (liquid water and vapour) is implemented in order to describe the electrical discharge and the propagation of shock waves in water. An anisotropic damage model is devised, wh...

Numerical Modelling of Dynamic Compaction in Dry Sandy Soils for Determination of Effective Print Spacing

Dynamic compaction (DC) is a widely used soil improvement method in dry and/or saturated soils. The design of DC treatment is usually carried out based on the past experiences and empirical relations. In order to clarify the ambiguities in DC processes, numerical modeling of DC in dry granular soils has been considered using a dynamic finite element code. Using the developed model, two design c...

Numerical Dynamic Analysis of Beams on Nonlinear Elastic Foundations under Harmonic Moving Load

As a main background practical context of the present numerical investigation, the appropriate description of track vibrations induced by high-speed trains looks crucial in contemporary railway engineering. The present paper is concerned with the modelization of the transient dynamic response of a simply-supported Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on a homogeneous in space Winkler elastic foundation...
