Abstract A smooth Crack Band Model (sCBM) is developed for anisotropic materials with
both high and low magnitude of anisotropy. sCBM is primarily used as a regularization …

In this paper, we lay out a variational framework for correspondence‐based peridynamic
(PD) formulations of solid mechanics. Using the framework, we address the numerical …

Quadratic NURBS-based discretizations of the Galerkin method suffer from volumetric
locking when applied to nearly-incompressible linear elasticity. Volumetric locking causes …

We propose a novel Gaussian quadrature, referred to as the learned Gaussian quadrature,
that is obtained by employing a supervised learning algorithm to find improved weights for …

A smoothed naturally stabilized conforming nodal integration (S-NSNI) for the reproducing
kernel particle method (RKPM) is proposed for non-linear explicit dynamics. The Taylor …

Recent optimum fitting of the data from eleven different types of distinctive fracture tests of
quasibrittle materials, including the gap tests and the size effect tests, revealed that the crack …

Subjected to external loadings, polymeric materials, eg, biological tissues, hydrogels, and
elastomers, may undergo extreme, nearly incompressible,(self-) contact deformations. For …

In this paper we develop a modification of the recently proposed Taylor series expansion-
based formulation for computational solids to satisfy a generalized patch test. To achieve …

We develop a computational framework to model damage and delamination in laminated
polymer composite structures incorporating the effects of temperature and moisture content …

Discretizations based on the Bubnov-Galerkin method and the isoparametric concept suffer
from membrane locking when applied to Kirchhoff–Love shell formulations. Membrane …
