Self-locking and Stability of the Bowline Knot
Bastien F. G. Aymon, Fani Derveni, Michael Gomez +2
We investigate the self-locking of the bowline knot through numerical simulations, experiments, and theoretical analysis. Specifically, we perform two complementary types of simula…

The most severe imperfection governs the buckling strength of pressurized multi-defect hemispherical shells
Fani Derveni, Florian Choquart, Arefeh Abbasi +2
We perform a probabilistic investigation on the effect of systematically removing imperfections on the buckling behavior of pressurized thin, elastic, hemispherical shells containi…

Defect-Defect Interactions in the Buckling of Imperfect Spherical Shells
Fani Derveni, Arefeh Abbasi, Pedro M. Reis
We perform finite element simulations to study the impact of defect-defect interactions on the pressure-induced buckling of thin, elastic, spherical shells containing two dimpled i…
