For many decades, experimental solid mechanics has played a crucial role in characterizing
and understanding the mechanical properties of natural and novel artificial materials …

In this work, we study the failure behavior of 3D-printed polymer composites undergoing
large deformations. Experimental results are compared to numerical simulations using the …

For many novel applications, such as patient-specific computer-aided surgery, conventional
solution techniques of the underlying nonlinear problems are usually computationally too …

The prediction of crack initiation and propagation in ductile failure processes are
challenging tasks for the design and fabrication of metallic materials and structures on a …

The complexity of many problems in computational mechanics calls for reliable
programming codes and accurate simulation systems. Typically, simulation responses …

A novel analysis-prediction (ANP) approach for geometrically nonlinear problems of solid
mechanics is for the first time proposed in this paper. The key concept of this approach is:(1) …

The effect of the adhesive geometry on the impact damage of adhesively bonded aluminum
sandwich panels was studied experimentally and numerically. Both the physical testing and …

Material behavior and microstructure geometries at small scales strongly influence the
physical behavior at higher scales. For example, defects like cracks and dislocations evolve …

The last few decades have been dominated by the need for digital control of various
processes in biology and medicine. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) over the last few …

We study the magneto-mechanical behavior of periodic laminates made of hard-magnetic
active elastomers (HMAEs). We formulate the amended free-energy function for HMAEs, and …
