High speed rail is in western Europe seen being a sustainable modal alternative for national and international trips over medium to longer distances. Increased attractive [...]

The masonry constructions are widely used for a long time. Nowadays, new masonry structures are on demand owing to its variety and appealing mechanical properties. Both b [...]

This paper presents a part of research of the gyroscopic stabilizer and describes a gyroscopic stabilizer correction and compensation system. Consequently identification [...]

This paper presents the results of the introductory part of a proposed project aimed at identifying long-term time-dependent mechanical characteristics of viscoelastic ma [...]

Abstrakt: One of the main requests in engineering practice is to have an effective design procedure of a reinforced concrete continuous beam. This task is a multidimensio [...]

The paper suggests a new approach of inverse analysis to obtain parameters of FEM computational model in order to obtain best agreement with experimental data. The propos [...]

The paper is focused on damage identification of dynamically loaded structures using methods of soft computing including artificial intelligence. The damage and variabili [...]

The paper is focused on statistical inverse analysis of material model parameters, where statistical parameters of input parameters have to be identified based on experim [...]

The paper aims to evaluate effective properties of a solid phase of metal foam on the level of a few microns. Basic principles of micromechanics are applied to the experi [...]

The performance of concrete is increasingly designed through durability. Durable concrete is a driving force for a sustainable production and use of cement. One way to ac [...]

Presented paper is concerned with the numerical modeling of quasibrittle materials such as concrete. Brancherie and Ibrahimbegovic are authors of a simple model capable o [...]

Identification of material parameters of finite element nanoindentation model is discussed in this paper. Nanoindentation is relatively new experimental method, which a [...]
