NURBS-based finite element analysis of functionally graded plates: static bending, vibration, buckling and flutter
Navid Valizadeh, Sundararajan Natarajan, Octavio A Gonzalez-Estrada +3
In this paper, a non-uniform rational B-spline based iso-geometric finite element method is used to study the static and dynamic characteristics of functionally graded material (FG…
A Surface Stacking Fault Energy Approach to Predicting Defect Nucleation in Surface-Dominated Nanostructures
Jin-Wu Jiang, Austin M. Leach, Ken Gall +2
We present a surface stacking fault (SSF) energy approach to predicting defect nucleation from the surfaces of surface-dominated nanostructure such as FCC metal nanowires. The appr…
A comparative study of two molecular mechanics models based on harmonic potentials
Junhua Zhao, Lifeng Wang, Jin-Wu Jiang +3
We show that the two molecular mechanics models, the stick-spiral and the beam models, predict considerably different mechanical properties of materials based on energy equivalence…
Enhancing the Mass Sensitivity of Graphene Nanoresonators Via Nonlinear Oscillations: The Effective Strain Mechanism
Jin-Wu Jiang, Harold S. Park, Timon Rabczuk
We perform classical molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the enhancement of the mass sensitivity and resonant frequency of graphene nanomechanical resonators that is achi…
A partitioned model order reduction approach to rationalise computational expenses in multiscale fracture mechanics
Pierre Kerfriden, Olivier Goury, Timon Rabczuk +1
We propose in this paper an adaptive reduced order modelling technique based on domain partitioning for parametric problems of fracture. We show that coupling domain decomposition…
Isogeometric analysis: an overview and computer implementation aspects
Vinh Phu Nguyen, Stéphane P. A. Bordas, Timon Rabczuk
Isogeometric analysis (IGA) represents a recently developed technology in computational mechanics that offers the possibility of integrating methods for analysis and Computer Aided…
