A Dynamic Modelling of Safety Nets

Yves Gourinat, Vincent Lapoujade

The nonlinear dynamic modelling of safety net systems is approached at different scales. For this purpose, the fundamental rope dynamic tests are the reference for two basic…

The Effects of Frictionless/Frictional Contact Boundary Conditions in Finite Element Modeling of Mandibular Fractures

Victor Caraveo, Scott Lovald, Tariq Khraishi, Jon Wagner, Bret Baack

Finite element (FE) modeling of the human dentate mandible is the method of choice currently used for simulating structural fracture analyses in the mandibular region. A finite…

Thermomechanical Intereactions in Porous Generalized Thermoelastic Material Permeated with Heat Sources

Rajneesh Kumar, Savita Devi

The Laplace and Fourier transforms have been employed to find the general solution to the fields equations in porous generalized thermoelastic medium subjected to thermomechanical…

Static Indentation Response of H30 Foam ‐ an Experimental and Computational Study

V. Rizov, A. Mladensky

This article presents an approach for assessing the damage resistance of H30 rigid foam subjected to local static loading. The main goal of the experimental part of this paper is…

Discrete Model of Fabric Yarn ‐ Deflection and Stability Analysis

Bilel Ben Boubaker, Bernard Haussy, Jean‐François Ganghoffer

The paper addresses the issue of the modelling of the mechanical behaviour of yarns using a massspring system of discrete elements. For this purpose, the yarn is discretized into…
