In this paper a triangular prism solid element for the analysis of thin/thick shells undergoing large elastic–plastic strains is developed. The element is based on a total Lagrangian formulation and uses as strain measure ...

In this paper a hexahedral solid-shell element with in-plane reduced integration is developed. The element is intended to the analysis of thin/thick elastic-plastic shells with moderate to large strains. Developed within ...

This paper analyses the static and dynamic behavior of the railroad track model in laboratory. Measurements of stresses and strains on a large-scale railroad track apparatus were studied. The model includes: compacted soil, ...

This paper extends a previous triangular prism solid element adequate to model shells under large strains to become a solid-shell element, i.e., that discretizations may include just one element across the thickness. A ...

An assumed strain approach for a linear triangular element able to handle finite deformation problems is presented in this paper. The element is based on a total Lagrangian formulation and its geometry is defined by three ...

This work presents a new formulation of the geometrically exact thin walled composite beam theory. The formulation assumes that the beam can undergo arbitrary kinematical changes while the strains remain small, thus ...
