In this paper, we present an effectively numerical approach based on isogeometric analysis (IGA) and higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) for geometrically nonlinear analysis of laminated composite plates. The HSDT allows us to approximate displacement field that ensures by itself the realistic shear strain energy part without shear correction factors. IGA utilizing basis functions name...

An extension of the well-known Neville–Aitken's algorithm for interpolation on Grassmann manifold G m ( ? n ) in framework parametric model order reduction is presented. Interpolation points are subspaces spanned by bases obtained Proper Orthogonal Decomposition available solutions associated with chosen parameter sampling. The performed recursively via geodesic barycenter two points. Three CFD...

In this paper an energy harvesting system based on a piezoelectric converter to extract energy from airflow and use it to power battery-less sensors is presented. The converter is embedded as a part of a flexure beam that is put into vibrations by von Karman vortices detached from a bluff body placed upstream. The vortex street has been investigated by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulat...

Introduction. The Karman-vortex street formed behind two-dimensional bluff bodies has attracted interest because of its beautiful flow pattern. It goes without saying that this beautifulness results from the alternative vortices regularly shed from the body. Vortex shedding induces aerodynamic force perpendicular to the mean flow. This force causing mechanical vibration of the model is accompan...
