Abstract: Using a weighted residual method, a geometrically and physically nonlinear membrane element is derived, which can be used in the analysis of anisotropic membranes. What is special about the ...

Abstract: A method to describe the stress situation in a wrinkled membrane is presented. In this paper it will be shown that a special deformation tensor can be chosen which leads to the correct ...

Abstract: Sustained tissue compression can lead to pressure ulcers, which can either start superficially or within deeper tissue layers. The latter type includes deep tissue injury, starting in skeletal ...
