The interaction between structures and supporting media is crucial for several engineering
applications. Among existing models, the elastic one originally attributed to Emil Winkler is …

Adhesives with functionally graded material properties are being considered for use in
adhesively bonded joints to reduce the peel stress concentrations located near adherend …

The potential of the mixed formulation for physics-informed neural networks is investigated
in order to find a solution for a non-uniform beam resting on an elastic foundation and …

Abstract The Green's Functions Stiffness Method (GFSM) is a method to compute the
analytic closed-form response (reactions, displacements, and internal forces fields) of …

This paper investigates the buckling of screws loaded in compression inserted into timber
members. Screws are often used as a reinforcement in timber structures. However, under …

This work aims to evaluate the free vibration of deformable fluid-filled rectangular tanks in
two dimensions. These tanks are surrounded by soil, and consequently, the soil-fluid …

A structural geometric nonlinear analysis using the finite element method (FEM) depends on
the consideration of five aspects: the interpolation (shape) functions, the bending theory, the …

The analysis of beams on Winkler foundations is very common in engineering. In many
practical problems nonlinear foundation behavior should be considered. Based on an exact …

Finite element models tend to overestimate the actual elastic response of structural timber
connections. The paper shows how such overprediction relates to the modelling of the …

In this study, circular beams with variable cross-sections on elastic foundations under
arbitrary loading are analyzed by the finite element method. The Winkler hypothesis is …
