This review article provides an overview of the problems pertaining to structural dynamics
with bolted joints. These problems are complex in nature because every joint involves …

Crashworthiness of subfloor-integrated tank is fundamental for the survivability of an impact
with the ground in emergency. In this paper, numerical models for the analysis of the water …

Self-pierce riveting (SPR) is becoming increasingly used in the automotive industry as a way
to join materials of different nature. In this paper we focus on the numerical modeling of the …

An experimental test series of mechanically fastened bolted joints with countersunk head in
quasi-isotropic carbon/epoxy composite laminates under quasi-static and dynamic loads …

MECHANICAL fastening is one of the major methods for joining airframe structural
components and its use will continue in the foreseeable future despite a number of …

The first part of the paper deals with the assessment of several methods using Lagrangian
and Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulations in Radioss to model bird impacts onto …

The computational modeling of hybrid metal–composite (aluminum alloys-short fiber
reinforced polymers) clinching joints requires the use of finite strain constitutive formulations …

Clinching is a manufacturing method of mechanically joining two or more materials without
the use of heat or additional components. This process relies on high plastic deformation to …

In the field of structural stress analysis and especially in transitory dynamics (crash and
impact simulations), study/design accuracy requires increasingly predictive models. A …

Designing satellite structures poses an ongoing challenge as the interaction between
analysis, experimental testing, and manufacturing phases is underdeveloped. Finite …
