Abstract A 2D Boundary Element Method (BEM) Formulation to obtain the constitutive
response of heterogeneous materials based on the Representative Volume Element (RVE) …

A boundary element formulation to obtain the constitutive response of heterogeneous
microstructures is proposed, considering a RVE-based multiscale theory. The sub-region …

A BEM formulation to perform elastic analysis of heterogeneous microstructures is proposed
in the context of multi-scale analysis. The microstructure, also denoted as RVE …

Studies concerned with evaluation and rehabilitation of historical masonry structures
consider structural analysis in order to better understand the seismic behaviour of these …

This paper presents a highly efficient small-scale, detailed finite-element modelling method
for flexible risers which can be effectively implemented in a fully-nested (FE 2) multiscale …

Life extension is an attractive option for subsea flexible risers nearing the end of their design
lives. However, techniques for assessing accumulated fatigue damage in flexible risers are …
