A numerical study of thermal-mechanical crack growth in orthotropic composite materials by
the recently developed extended nodal gradient finite element method is presented. The …

The element differential method (EDM) is extended to solve the transient heat transfer
problems with phase change. The governing equation of the phase change problem is …

In composite plates, there are generally amounts of residual stresses that can have adverse
effects in final parts. So, it is very important to know about the residual stress's type, location …

The static deflection, frequency and transient responses of the layered sandwich shell
