The growing use of composite materials for aerospace applications has resulted in the need
for quantitative methods to analyze composite components. Ultrasonic guided waves …

Digital imaging technologies such as X‐ray scans and ultrasound provide a convenient and
non‐invasive way to capture high‐resolution images. The colour intensity of digital images …

Typical areas of application of explicit dynamics are impact, crash test, and most importantly,
wave propagation simulations. Due to the numerically highly demanding nature of these …

Explicit time integration methods are an integral part of solving structural dynamics problems
such as the propagation of elastic and acoustic waves, impact scenarios including crash …

Point-cloud-based geometry acquisition techniques have seen an increased deployment in
recent years and can be used in many branches of science and engineering. Different from …

In this paper, an approach is presented to model the propagation of elastic waves and their
interaction with defects in plate structures. The formulation is based on the Scaled Boundary …

The scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) is a semi-analytical approach to
solving partial differential equations, in which a finite element approximation is deployed for …

We present, for the first time, the application of explicit time-stepping schemes within the
context of the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). To this end, we discuss in …

We apply a combination of the transient scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM)
and quadtree‐based discretization to model dynamic problems at high frequencies. We …

In this paper, a numerical approach for the computation of dispersion relations for three-
dimensional waveguides with arbitrary cross-section is proposed. The formulation is based …
