In this paper, we address the numerical aspects and implementation of a nonlinear
viscoplastic model of the mechanical behaviour of brain tissue to simulate the dynamic …

A Mindlin plate subjected to a pair of inertial loads traveling at a constant high speed in
opposite directions along arbitrary trajectory, straight or curved, is presented. The masses …

Classical time integration schemes fail in vibration analysis of complex problems with
moving concentrated parameters. Moving mass problems and moving support problems …

This work derives and simulates a two-dimensional extension of the nonlinear Gao beam, by
adding the cross-sectional shear variable, similarly to the extension of the usual Bernoulli …

A velocity-based single-field Space-Time Finite Element Method (v-ST/FEM) is devised
within the framework of the time-discontinuous Galerkin method for an elastodynamics …

The paper deals with the vibrations of structures subjected to a moving inertial load.
Classical description of the moving mass particle based on the Hermitian shape functions …

This paper models, analyzes and simulates the vibrations of a nonlinear Gao beam that is
subjected to a moving mass or a massless point-force. Such problems arise naturally in …

Inertial loading of strings, beams and plates by mass travelling with near‐critical velocity has
been a long debate. Typically, a moving mass is replaced by an equivalent force or an …

Inertial loading of structures by mass travelling with near-critical velocity has been
intensively debated. In the literature a moving mass is replaced by an equivalent force or an …

This book collects some papers dealing with actual Civil Engineering problems. The
approach is in the line of the Italian-French school and therefore deeply couples mechanics …
