Abstract: Various analogies between the Saint Venant‐type torsion of prismatic bars with solid cross sections of polygonal planform and the problem of bending of simply supported, thin plates are discussed. The analogous plate has ...

Abstract: A multiple field theory dates back to developments in linear thermo-elasticity where the thermal strain is considered to be imposed on the linear elastic background structure in an isothermal ...

Abstract: The equations of balance of momentum and energy usually are formulated under the assumption of conservation of mass. However, mass is not conserved when sources of mass are present or when ...

Abstract: A novel planar pipe finite element conveying fluid with steady flow, suitable for modeling large deformations in the framework of the Bernoulli–Euler beam theory, is presented. The element is ...

Abstract: In extension to a former work, a detailed comparison of the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) and the floating frame of reference formulation (FFRF) is performed for standard static ...

Abstract: In multibody dynamics, the flexibility effects of each body are captured by using a linear combination of elastic mode shapes. If a co-rotational and co-translating frame of reference is used ...

Abstract: The present paper is concerned with the motion of an elastically supported beam that carries an elastic beam moving at constant speed. This problem provides a limiting case to the assumptions usually considered in the study ...

Abstract: Vibrations of smart elastic plates with integrated piezoelectric actuators are considered. Piezoelastic layers are used to generate a distributed actuation of the plate. A spatial shape function ...
