چکیده

The design and the optimization of structures with constrained layer damping (CLD) treatment requires an efficient numerical tool. The frame of this work is the modelling of thin constrained viscoelastic layers embedded in a massive structure meshed in 3D. A zero-thickness interface finite element is developed in order to model this viscoelastic layer, which enables to modify both its placement and thickness without remeshing the whole structure.

Numerical Modeling of Railway Track Supporting System using Finite-Infinite and Thin Layer Elements

The present contribution deals with the numerical modeling of railway track-supporting systems-using coupled finite-infinite elements-to represent the near and distant field stress distribution, and also employing a thin layer interface element to account for the interfacial behavior between sleepers and ballast. To simulate the relative debonding, slipping and crushing at the contact area betw...

Sensitivity Analysis of Road Actual Conditions to Evaluate the Optimal Positioning of Geogrid Using Finite Elements and Dynamic Methods

Roads are subjected to vehicle traffics with different loads and velocities. Geogrid reinforcement is of the best methods for road improvement due to the ease of construction, delay in damage development and financial efficiency. This study evaluates pavement response under different loads and velocities, before and after geogrid reinforcement. A finite element software (ABAQUS) is used for num...

A finite elements study on the role of primary cilia in sensing mechanical stimuli to cells by calculating their response to the fluid flow

The primary cilium which is an organelle in nearly every cell in the vertebrate body extends out of the cell surface like an antenna and is known as cell sensor of mechanical and chemical stimuli. In previous numerical simulations, researchers modeled this organelle as a cantilevered beam attached to the cell surface. In the present study, however, we present a novel model that accommodates for...

Improved Behaviour of Accordion Metallic Dampers Affected by the Increasing Number of Layers

In recent years, thin-walled accordion tubes under axial cyclic loading due to their appropriate energy absorption mechanism and behavioral characteristics were suggested as hysteretic metallic dampers. The effectiveness of accordion metallic damper (AMD) to protect and mitigate the response of structures under seismic loading is well established both experimentally and analytically. In this pa...
