In the present paper, the effect of parameterization on the results of isogeometric analysis of freeform

approximated curved beams is investigated. An Euler–Bernoulli beam element for an initially curved

beam ...

In this paper a methodology is proposed to predict the ductile damage in the sheet

metal blanking process using a coupled thermo mechanical finite element method. A

constitutive material model combined with ...

Aluminim Tubular structures are of interest as viable

energy absorbing components in vehicular front rail

structures to improve crashworthiness. Desirable tools

in designing such structures are models ...

micromembrane under a constant pressure. Stress and strain distributions have been calculated by the finite element method (FEM) and Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method which in turn uses finite difference method (FDM). A comparison has been made between FEM and FDM...

specification. The effect of flexible components will cause

change in mean, variance and correlation of the assembly specification. FEM is used to model the mechanism in

order to compute part dimension variations under external loading. The percent...

A flexible crank-slider mechanism is considered to investigate the variations of Coupler Point (C.P.) position.

The assembly specifications, i.e. C.P. position, have variations in x and y directions. The correlation ...

Abstract – In aerospace structures, panels with variously shaped cutout are often used. The understanding of the effects of cutout on the buckling behavior of such plates has grown in importance with the increasing need ...
