The mechanics of a woven wire mesh material are investigated to characterize the elasto-plastic behavior of this class of materials under tensile conditions. The study focuses on a representative 316 L stainless steel (316 L SS) 325 2300 twill-dutch woven wire mesh typically used as a fine filtration media in applications such as water reclamation, air filtration, and as a key component in swab...

This paper presents a mixed finite element model for the nonlinear time-dependant analysis of composite beams with partial shear connection. The key idea is to consider, as a first approach, a viscoelastic/plastic model for the concrete slab in order to simulate the interaction between the time effects of concrete, such as creep and shrinkage, and the concrete cracking. Creep is taken into acco...

In this paper the problem of a plane strain hydraulic fracture in elasto-plastic material is analyzed. The analysis based on Finite Element Method computations crack propagation and closure to simulate Mini-Frac calibration test. basic trends evolution are identified for both, stage materials compared with results obtained purely elastic deformation rock. Pressure decline conducted identify str...
