In the present work, enhanced one-dimensional finite elements with node-dependent
kinematics are proposed for the static analysis. Finite element governing equations are …

In this article, a first attempt has been made to address the nonlinear deflection problem of
magneto-electro-elastic shells reinforced with carbon nanotubes subjected to multiphysics …

Abstract Data-driven Computational Mechanics (DDCM) has been proposed as a new
computational paradigm in recent years. Most of the DDCM models are discretised in the …

Patch-type discontinuous loads lead to highly localized stresses which are three-
dimensional (3D) in nature and can initiate failures. Their accurate characterization is of …

Piezoelectric actuators with large output and high reliability are widely applied in electron
device. In this paper, a modified first-order plate theory of laminated piezoelectric plates with …

The multi-stability of composite shells often exhibits complex mechanical behaviors,
accompanied by large deformation, strong nonlinearity and multiple equilibrium branches …

When dealing with innovative materials–such as composites and metamaterials with
complex microstructure–or structural components with non-orthogonal beam/plate geometry …

This study investigates the electromechanical performance of piezoelectric sandwich plates
both numerically and experimentally. The effect of different inner design parameters, namely …

When dealing with complex structures with a several number of degrees of freedom (DOFs),
it is useful trying to reduce the mesh for computational cost reasons, seeking not affecting …

In this work, a refined model is superimposed on a simple one only in a region of interest to
improve the accuracy of the modeling of composite beam structures. The purpose is to …
