This contribution compares the performance of a monolithic and two staggered numerical update schemes for coupled shape topology optimization method thin-walled beam structures. In order to limit computational time method, structures are modeled as 2.5D configurations. this approach, 1D elements used simulate response in longitudinal direction, while cross-sectional properties calculated from a...

Several methods, such as electron microscopy, scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), X-ray diffraction, and decoration technique can be used to observe radiation damage in materials. In this work, we report microstructural changes and defect clusters induced by swift heavy ions (SHI) on graphite surfaces, visualized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Our studies have been performed on fine-g...

A new algorithm for simulation of non-isothermal flow in a twin-screw extruder is introduced. In the new algorithm, the finite element mesh of tetrahedral elements is created in the complete barrel including the space occupied by the screws. By partitioning the tetrahedral elements which are intersected by the screw surfaces into two tetrahedral, pyramidal or prismatic finite elements, the new ...

As the construction industry, especially steel construction, contributes to a large portion of global greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable structural design has become necessity achieve world vision reaching net zero emissions by 2050. portal frames are most used system for single-story buildings, main objective this study is determine optimal frame configuration using prismatic and/or non-pri...

Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...

-In the previous paper, the use of matrix iteration to determine the natural frequencies of vibration of continuous beam system using the concept of wave propagation in a prismatic bar is reported. The natural frequencies of vibration obtained from the formulated model were compared with the values obtained from literature and those of the exact solution. An error of 28% and 30% was observed wh...

Abstract In this study, modeling of discharge was performed in compound open channels with non-prismatic floodplains (CCNPF) using soft computation models including multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) and group method data handling (GMDH), then their results were compared the multilayer perceptron neural networks (MLPNN). addition to total discharge, separation between floodplain ma...

the relations of fibrolite-biotite are discussed by presenting data from the ardara aureole, nw ireland. biotite-fibrolite intergrowths are developed in all three aureole zones including: the outer kyanite-bearing andalusite zone, the middle kyanite-free andalusite zone and the inner prismatic sillimanite zone. a strain-assisted mechanism is proposed for the fibrolitisation of biotite in the ar...

The paper presents the application of a novel fast numerical tool, based on Generalised Beam Theory (GBT), to perform buckling and post-buckling analyses of laminated CFRP panels. GBT is a beam theory developed for prismatic thinwalled members (e.g., columns, beams or panels), which takes into account both global and local deformations. One of its main features is the fact that the cross-sectio...

Jones matrix computation is one of the widely used methods in nonlinearitycalculation in laser interferometers. In this paper, the nonlinearity error in developedthree-longitudinal mode heterodyne interferometer (DTLMI) has been mathematicallymodeled at various speeds, by using Jones matrix calculations. This review has been donedespite the fact that simultaneously the main factors including no...
