The inerter is a two-terminal mechanical element that produces forces directly proportional to the relative acceleration between these terminals. The linear behaviour of this element has already been described in the ...

In this paper a new boundary element method formulation for elastoplastic analysis of plates with geometrical nonlinearities is presented. The von Mises criterion with linear isotropic hardening is considered to evaluate ...

In this work, we study how a contact/impact nonlinearity interacts with a geometric cubic nonlinearity in an oscillator system. Specific focus is shown to the effects on bifurcation behavior and secondary resonances (i.e., ...

In this study, a new and efficient computational approach based on isogeometric analysis (IGA) and refined plate theory (RPT) is proposed for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of functionally graded (FG) microplates. ...

This work presents a fully non-linear finite element formulation for shell analysis comprising linear strain variation along the thickness of the shell and geometrically exact description for curved triangular elements. ...

Full models of scalar modulation instability (MI) in optical fibers available in the literature usually involve complex formulations. In this paper, we present a novel approach to the analysis of MI in optical fibers by ...

This paper presents an alternative coupling strategy between the Boundary Element Method (BEM) and the Finite Element Method (FEM) in order to create a computational code for the analysis of geometrical nonlinear 2D frames ...

Although nonlinearity in dynamical systems have been of concern for many years due to its unpredictable effects, researchers and engineers have recently begun to incorporate it into mechanical and mechatronic devices to ...
