Abstract: We study three “incompressibility flavors” of linearly elastic anisotropic solids that exhibit volumetric constraints: isochoric, hydroisochoric, and rigidtropic. An isochoric material deforms without ...

Abstract: The paper presents a systematically numerical procedure based on the finite-element method for three-dimensional analysis of segmentally constructed prestressed concrete bridges using hexahedral elements including realistic ...

Abstract: An excavation process is a nonlinear dynamic problem that includes geometrical, material, and contact nonlinearities. The simulation of ground excavation has to face contact interaction in a changing geometry composed by ...
