Run-out of cut-slope landslides: mesh-free simulations

Stability and Run-out Analysis of Earthquake-induced Landslides

Microtubules cut and run.

There is broad agreement that cells reconfigure their microtubules through rapid bouts of assembly and disassembly, as described by the mechanism known as dynamic instability. However, many cell types have complex patterns of microtubule organization that are not entirely explicable by dynamic instability. There is growing evidence that microtubules can be moved into new patterns of organizatio...

Mesh-free simulations of shear banding in large deformation

Mesh-free approximation is used in numerical simulations of strain localization under large deformation. An explicit displacement based mesh-free formulation is used in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional computations. The spatial isotropy of mesh-free interpolant is demonstrated through the numerical example to show that mesh-free methods possess certain ``mesh objectivity'' that allevi...

Free Open Source Mesh Healing for TCAD Device Simulations

Device geometries in technology computer-aided design processes are often generated using parametric solid modeling computeraided design tools. However, geometries generated with these tools often lack geometric properties, like being intersection-free, which are required for volumetric mesh generation as well as discretization methods. Contributing to this problem is the fact, that device geom...

Free Vibration Analysis of Functionally Graded Piezoelectric Material Beam by a Modified Mesh Free Method

A mesh-free method based on moving least squares approximation (MLS)  and weak form of governing equations including two dimensional equations of motion and Maxwell’s equation is used to analyze the free vibration of functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) beams. Material properties in beam are determined using a power law distribution. Essential boundary conditions are imposed by the...
