Fatigue evaluations are one of the main challenges to applying additively manufactured primary structural elements onto aircraft, especially for the gas-pore effects on fatigue strength.In this work, a bond decomposition strategy (BDS) in peridynamics (PD) is proposed; combined with our previously proposed model for fatigue damage, numerical simula
Since the tendon is composed by collagen fibrils of various sizes connected between them through molecular cross-links, it sounds cent dyyni logical to model it via a heterogeneous network of fibrils.Using cross sectional images, that network is operatively inferred from the respective Gabriel graph of the fibril mass centers.We focus on network pe
In this study, the power absorption of read more a submerged piezoelectric wave energy converter (PWEC) device floating over a rippled seabed is investigated under the linear water wave theory.The boundary element method (BEM) is used to solve the physical problem analogs to the hydrodynamics of the PWEC device.The effect of different structural pa
