Abstract: Dual number automatic differentiation was applied to two computational fluid dynamics codes, one written specifically for this purpose and one “legacyâ€‌ fortran code. Results for the simple case of a fully developed ...

Abstract: An asymptotically correct, nonlinear, analytical crosssectional analysis is developed for pretwisted, isotropic beams under axial load and torsion. A comprehensive model is presented that for the first time simultaneously ...

Abstract: An error is introduced by the conventional approach of applying beam theory in the presence of interiorly applied loads. This error arises from neglecting the influence of the precise distribution of surface tractions and ...

Abstract: This work reveals the potential of mechanics of structure genome (MSG) for the free-edge stress analysis of composite laminates. First, the cross-sectional analysis specialized from MSG is formulated for solving a generalized ...

Abstract: The interlaminar stress in angle-ply and cross-ply composite laminates subjected to twisting deformation are investigated. Two mechanisms of interlaminar load transfer have been developed by studying the angle-ply laminate ...

Abstract: Artificial neural network (ANN) models are used to learn the nonlinear constitutive laws based on indirectly measurable data. The real input and output of the ANN model are derived from indirect data using a mechanical ...
