A critical overview of past research on the interaction integral (I-integral) method is
presented. The I-integral is the two-state mutual energy release rate decided by a …

Body condition scoring of livestock is widely used as a subjective method for assessing
energy reserves and making management decisions for livestock. Since animal dimensions …

We investigate new numerical results of thermal buckling for functionally graded plates
(FGPs) with internal defects (eg, crack or cutout) using an effective numerical method. The …

This paper reviews crack tip asymptotic fields in generic plane anisotropic media, rigorously
categorising about 400 studies devoted to the determination of the asymptote coefficients …

The body measurement of livestock is an important task in precision livestock farming. To
reduce the cost of manual measurement, an increasing number of studies have proposed …

Composite materials inherently own desirable properties including high strength, high
stiffness and good toughness. The macroscopic mechanical properties of composite …

This paper is concerned with the numerical investigation of fracture mechanics parameters
for cracked orthotropic composite structures by using an efficient computational approach …

This paper is devoted to the numerical simulation of elasto-plastic large deformation in three-
dimensional (3-D) solids using isogeometric analysis (IGA) based on Bézier extraction of …

Finite element analysis of complex hydraulic structures can be challenging due to the time-
consuming and laborious meshing procedure. Isogeometric analysis (IGA) offers excellent …

The prevalence of computer graphics technology boosts the developments of point clouds in
recent years, which offer advantages over terrain surfaces (represented by Triangular …
