The distribution of the internal forces corresponding to the individual buckling modes of lip-channel (LC) beams is investigated using the Semi Analytical Method (SAM) and the Finite Element Method (FEM). Channel section beams made of 8-layered GFRP...
Numerical methods have gained momentum among specific engineering problems that must be solved in such a manner that accuracy and speed are the two most important aspects to consider regarding the output. This paper presents a fast, semi-analytical m...
New methods of degradations on the pavement’s surface, such as top-down cracking and delamination, caused by the repeated passage of heavy vehicles led to questions about the impact of the contact between the tire and the pavement. In fact, to increa...
This work concerns the analysis of a thin-walled box made of ceramic and step-variable functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to compression. The components of the box taken into account were pure alumina and aluminium-alumina graded material....
We are especially interested in the general framework and ability of a semi-analytic method (SAM) to use the trigonometric basis function (TBF) in different domains. Moreover, the stabilizing effect of increasing boundary nodes on the convergence of...
The present paper deals with the interactive buckling of thin-walled lipped channel (LC) beams under the bending moment in the web plane when the shear lag phenomenon and distortional deformations are taken into account. A plate model (2D) was adopte...
In rolling or gear contacts, truncation of the contact ellipse can occur, for example, when an undercut extends into the contact area. For an elastic calculation approach, the edge constitutes a mathematical singularity, which is revealed by a theore...
This work deals with the investigation of a steel thin-walled C-column subjected to compression due to temperature increase. These experimental studies of the compressed columns in post-buckling state were conducted to determine their load-carrying c...
The multimodal buckling of thin-walled isotropic columns with open cross-sections under uniform compression is discussed. Column lengths were selected to enable strong interactions between selected eigenmodes. In the case of short columns or very lon...
The magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) medium is a typical intelligent material with promising application prospects in sensors and transducers, whose thermal contact response is responsible for their sensitivity and stability. An effective thermal contac...
The paper is devoted to the measurement and to the processing of load spectra of forces and moments acting at the wheel hub of a motorcycle. Smart wheels (SWs) have been specifically developed for the scope. Throughout the paper, the extreme case of...
This study analyzed adhesive wear in periodic sliding motion using a quasi-static deterministic wear model that considered changes in the point of contact of asperities as well as changes in the surface and statistical parameters. The contact pressur...
Based on domain decomposition, a semi-analytical method (SAM) is applied to analyze the free vibration of double-curved shells of revolution with a general curvature radius made from graphene nanoplatelet (GPL)-reinforced porous composites. The mecha...
