This paper presents a general method for the studies of the vibration characteristics of an
electrical machine stator with encased construction under practical boundary conditions. In …

This paper presents a new approach to the analysis of thin-walled beams. The proposed
model is developed by utilizing the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM). Global …

This paper presents an efficient approach for modeling beams with crack propagation and
discontinuities. The proposed approach relies on a globally enriched element within the …

Yieldable frame support (YFS) is the most important primary component of a tunnel or
underground roadway propping in a consequent set of multistage support technology, which …

In higher-order beam theories, cross-sectional deformations causing complex responses of
thin-walled beams are considered as additional degrees of freedom. To fully capture their …

The paper presents a unified homogenization-based methodology to estimate the damping
enhancement, known as metadamping, for a thin-walled mono-symmetric beam (TWMSB) …

Higher-order sectional modes of a thin-walled beam such as distortion and warping
significantly affect structural stiffness levels. Because this higher-order effect becomes even …

Thin-walled composite beams of complex sectional contour are widely used along with the
traditional elements of reinforced structures. Based on the generalized theory of elasticity of …

Thin-walled multicell structures observed in vehicle frames are partially welded to lower the
welding process cost while maintaining their overall structural stiffness comparable to those …

A sufficiently accurate prediction of mechanics behavior for thin-walled structures has
always received much attention in the development of beam theory. This paper proposes a …
