The thermomechanical behavior of solids includes dissipative processes such as plastic
deformation and fracture. The relative importance of these processes on the response of …

Void collapse under shock loading has become a model problem to study the nucleation of
hot spots in high energy density materials. While experimental observation of this …

This paper focuses mainly on the development of composite sub-step explicit algorithms for
solving nonlinear dynamic problems. The proposed explicit algorithms are required to …

In the present work, we implement thixotropic–viscoelastic models in the HiGFlow system,
which is a recently developed Computational Fluid Dynamics software that is able to …

This article focuses mainly on the development of explicit integration algorithms for structural
dynamics. Some known single‐step explicit schemes are first reviewed and their algorithmic …

The guided wave technique has been widely used for evaluating different structures.
Recently, these acoustic waves have been implemented in non-destructive testing (NDT) …

Current high strain rate testing procedures generally rely on the split Hopkinson bar (SHB).
In order to gain accurate material data with this technique, it is necessary to assume the test …

This paper constructs and analyzes a generalized composite two-sub-step explicit method to
solve various dynamical problems effectively. Via the accuracy and dissipation analysis, the …

The damping properties of polybutyl methacrylate (PBMA)/aromatic petroleum resin (C9)
composite were investigated in this work. In particular, a trace of styrene (St) was introduced …

The paper presents a new formulation and the comprehensive analytical solution to
longitudinal impact of thick elastic rods. In contrast to previously published works, the …
