Whereas mechanics theories for isotropic materials have been almost matured, those for
anisotropic or composite materials well established are only limited to linear elasticity. All of …

Elasto-plastic models for composites can be classified into three categories in terms of a
length scale, ie, macro scale, meso scale, and micro scale (micromechanics) models. In …

Over the past 30 years, the cell-centred finite volume method has developed to become a
viable alternative to the finite element method in the field of computational solid mechanics …

Since early publications in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the finite volume method has
been shown suitable for solid mechanics analyses. At present, there are several flavours of …

The current article presents a fully coupled cell-centred Finite Volume solution methodology
for linear elasticity and unstructured meshes. Details are given of the novel implicit …

A new approach based on combination of cell-center finite volume method (CC FVM) and
Timoshenko beam theory has been developed to analyze static and free vibration of …

In this paper, a novel meshless finite volume (MFV) method is proposed for free vibration
analysis of laminated composite plates. In this study, moving least square approximation …

The current article presents a Lagrangian cell‐centred finite volume solution methodology
for simulation of metal forming processes. Details are given of the mathematical model in …

The never-ending struggle to design new materials for supporting innovative engineering
requirements gives composites a worthy focus. This endeavor is challenged by the …

The purpose of this research is to demonstrate that the numerical issue associated with the
checkerboard patterns can be entirely controlled by applying the finite-volume theory …
