Since its initial development as a tool for structural analysis around the mid-fifties the Finite Element Method (FEM) has evolved to become the most popular and used method in modern Computational Solid Mechanics. On the ...

The finite model property of the variety of S-algebras was proved by X. Caicedo using Kripke model techniques of the associated calculus. A more algebraic proof, but still strongly based on Kripke model ideas, was given ...

In this work, the applicability of a new algorithm for the estimation of mechanical properties from instrumented indentation data was studied for thin films. The applicability was analyzed with the aid of both three-dimensional ...

The behavior of π0 meson properties in the presence of a uniform external magnetic field is studied in the context of a nonlocal extension of the Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The analysis includes the π0 mass, the ...

The present study proposes a computational methodology to obtain the homogenized effective elastic properties of unidirectional fibrous composite materials by using the generalized finite-element method and penalization ...
