ABSTRACT A Bayesian regularization-backpropagation neural network (BR-BPNN) model
is employed to predict some aspects of the gecko spatula peeling, viz. the variation of the …

Two families of higher-order accurate time integration algorithms are numerically tested by
using various nonlinear problems of structural dynamics, and the numerical results obtained …

A convenient evaluation method is proposed for the debonding adhesive strength in terms of
the intensity of singular stress field (ISSF) appearing at the end of interface. The same FEM …

The present work investigates the normal and tangential peeling behaviour of a gecko
spatula using a coupled adhesion-friction model. The objective is to explain the strong …

ABSTRACT A continuum-based computational contact model is employed to study coupled
adhesion and friction in gecko spatulae. Nonlinear finite element analysis is carried out to …

Numerical solution of adhesive peeling problems presents significant computational
challenges. This is due to the large peeling stresses that occur in the very narrow zone …

It is known that during the simulation of the adhesive contact problems highly nonlinear
responses of interaction forces occur within the very narrow adhesive zone. It leads to the …

A new explicit–implicit time integration technique is proposed here for wave propagation
analysis. In the present formulation, the time integrators of the model are selected at the …

In this work, a new method, denoted as varying order based NURBS discretization, is
proposed to enhance the performance of isogeometric analysis (IGA) technique within the …
