Inverse methods are mathematical techniques by which the unknown input of a system is determined from a known or desired output. In this article, a new inverse method for the reverse design of deformable structures is ...

Rubber has been recognized as an engineering material since the mid 1800s. It is well known that the mechanical behavior of rubber is complicated due to nonlinearity, hyperelasticity and its great sensitivity to the effects ...

Itapeti granitic body is located near the cities of Mogi d as Cruzes, Guararema and Santa Branca-SP. It is inserted in Precambrian metamorphic rocks with a large extent inlaid in the Taxaquara Shear Zone. Foliations, ...

A displacement-based Galerkin meshfree method for large deformation analysis of nearly-incompressible elastic solids is presented. Nodal discretization of the domain is defined by a Delaunay tessellation (three-node triangles ...

This paper introduces a finite element model for the inverse design of pieces with large displacements in the elastic range. The problem consists in determining the initial shape of the piece, such that it attains the ...

The authors aim to propose an accurate and practical method to predict the deformation of actual plates of large size such as those used in shipbuilding. This method is to be used to improve the accuracy of an automatic ...

The microstructure evolution and mechanical behavior during large strain of a 0.16%C-Mn steel has been investigated by warm torsion tests. These experiments were carried out at 685°C at equivalent strain rate of 0.1 s . ...

The motivation of this work is to introduce the inverse finite element method (IFEM) as a new method for the design of compliant mechanisms that must fit a prescribed shape after undergoing large elastic deformations under ...
