The present contribution presents a simple Finite Element model aimed at an efficient formulation of layered glass units. The adopted approach is based on considering in [...]

This paper presents a Finite Element-based approach to constructing an approximate energetic solution to a non-local damage model proposed by Mielke and Roub´cek (2006). [...]

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are two-phase composites with continuously changing microstructure adapted to performance requirements. Traditionally, the overall be [...]

In this contribution, we present an efficient FETI-based algorithm for homogenization of fibrous composite materials with imperfect interfaces. The proposed formulation [...]

irtual testing of composite materials is, compared to a conventional experimental analysis, less time consuming, and it can very clearly reveal the failure mode. Therefor [...]

The problem of an inverse analysis occurs in many engineering tasks. The problem itself has several different forms and can be solved by many very distinct methods. In th [...]

In this contribution, the problem of numerical homogenization of plates perforated by a large number of small openings is discussed. When the characteristic size of the o [...]

In this paper we present an identification method of microplane model parameters from results of experiments in a uniaxial deformation on concrete. Novelties are usage of [...]

The present contribution aims at the application of homogenization approaches to heterogeneous members subject to bending. The proposed approach is discussed with the emp [...]
