In this work, we have employed the strain gradient plasticity theory into the continuum mechanics to investigate the size effect of material on the crack propagation of micro-sized copper. Constitutive equation was re-formulated in terms of strain gradient and intrinsic material length. Elastic-plas

A methodology is presented for detection of the location of simple translational spring supports in elastic structures by non-destructive and non-intrusive means, based on measured natural frequencies of the structure. A gradient-based "nite element (FE) model updating technique has been used for su
This paper presents a technique using combined ΓΏnite element and analytical methods for determining the dynamic responses of structures to moving bodies. In previous work (Comput. Struct., submitted), moving masses were treated as moving loads, ignoring inertia e ects. This is not always reasonable
In this paper, the extended finite element method (XFEM) is used for a discrete crack simulation of concrete using an adaptive crack growth algorithm. Different criteria for predicting the direction of the extension of a cohesive crack are investigated in the context of the XFEM. The robustness of t
