An efficient low-order virtual element method (VEM) for the phase-field modeling of ductile
fracture is outlined within this work. The recently developed VEM is a competitive …

We propose an adaptive curved virtual element method (ACVEM) which is able to combine
an exact representation of the involved computational geometry and a dynamic tuning of the …

An efficient low order virtual element method (VEM) for crack-propagation in elastic solids at
small strains is outlined within this work. The recently developed VEM is a competitive …

We present a general form of the gradient-enhanced damage theory and its numerical
implementation using finite element method (FEM) in modeling quasi-static brittle crack …

In this paper, the novel concept of Serendipity Virtual Elements is extended to the case of
compressible hyper-elastic materials in 2D. Second order polynomials are adopted for the …

We present a virtual element method (VEM)-based topology optimization framework using
polyhedral elements, which allows for convenient handling of non-Cartesian design …

Some years ago, a family of large deformation continuum finite elements based on reduced
integration was investigated by Reese (2005), Schwarze and Reese (2011) and Frischkorn …

In this work, a hybrid formulation based on the conjoined use of the recently developed
Virtual Element Method (VEM) and the Boundary Element Method (BEM) is proposed for the …

The virtual element method is a lively field of research, in which considerable progress has
been made during the last decade and applied to many problems in physics and …

Mechanical behaviour of particle composite materials is growing of interest to engineering
applications. A computational homogenization procedure in conjunction with a statistical …
