Abstract: In order to coordinate the design of RC structures all over Europe, the new Eurocode has been implemented in all member states. In Germany, for example, the unified codes with their national annexes are exclusively valid ...

Abstract: Some important numerical aspects concerning the finite-element simulation of granular flow are presented. The main topic of this paper is the so-called “switch” phenomenon, which is a stress peak at the junction of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a simple procedure for simultaneous cutting and forming of thin Al foils for use in MEMS components. The procedure makes use of scaled down macroscopic sheet forming and ...
