One critical problem of sheet formed products is its dimensional accuracy. This is related to springback (elastic recovery), after forming load releasing. It may happen in any forming process; however, it is easier noted ...

Standard Test Methods (e.g. ASTM, DIN) for materials characterization in general, and for fatigue in particular, do not contemplate specimens with complex geometries, as well as the combination of axial and in-plane bending ...

In this work, the plate bending formulation of the boundary element method - BEM, based on the Reissner's hypothesis, is extended to the analysis of plates reinforced by beams taking into account the membrane effects. The ...

In this work, the plate bending formulation of the boundary element method (BEM), based on the Reissner's hypothesis, is extended to the analysis of plates reinforced by rectangular beams. This composed structure is modelled ...

Analog modeling of a flat-ramp-flat fault system was performed and its geometry and displacement field were compared to those of different kinematic models such as classical fault bend folding, fault parallel flow, ...

This article presents a BEM formulation developed particularly for analysis of plates reinforced by rectangular beams. This is an extended version of a Previous paper that only took into account bending effects. The problem ...
