Laminated glass is a simple sandwiched composite structure, while being widely used in the
automotive industry as windshield glazings. It is considered to be safety glass due to its …

The interaction simulations between particles and structures are often performed in the
context of the combined discrete-finite element (DEM-FEM) method, where an efficient …

An isogeometric/multi-sphere discrete-element coupling method is presented to model the
contact or impact between structures and particles with complex shape. This coupling …

Automotive laminated glass is generally composed of two pieces of outer glass layers and
one piece of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. Its impact fracture behavior is very important …

Numerical methods have become useful tools for predicting vehicle mobility performance on
granular terrain. However, due to the large number of soil particles and complex contact …

In this study, a discrete element method is employed to simulate the mixing process of solid
particles in a horizontal ribbon mixer with a double U-shaped vessel. A mixing index, ie the …

In recent decades, extensive effort has been devoted to simulating the tractive performance
of an off-road tire on granular terrain using the combined discrete element and finite element …

The combined discrete-finite element method is often used for dynamic interaction
simulations, in which contact detection is the most time-consuming but critical constituent …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) isogeometric/discrete-element coupling method is
presented for modeling contact/impact between structures and particles. This method takes …

Based on the B-differentiable Newton method (BDNM) and finite element tearing and
interconnecting (FETI) algorithm, a coupled approach named FETI-BDNM is developed to …
