The application of non-optimized damping and phono-absorbent materials to automotive systems has not proved fully satisfactory in abating noise and vibration. The objective of this work was to develop a simple finite element modelling procedure that would allow optimizing structures such as a car bo
Finite element modelling is used to study the response of plate structures on which piezoelectric active devices are mounted. Such devices are typically small in relation to the size of the structure which can be modelled as a plate or shell structure. In modelling the response of such devices, it i
A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element model of reinforced concrete structures is presented. A nonlinear elastic isotropic experimentally based model is used to describe the behaviour of concrete before cracking or crushing. The behaviour of concrete is changed from isotropic to orthotropic wh
In this study, the dynamic stability of "nite element modelling of laminated piezo-elastic structures is investigated. The criteria for stability are established based on the second method of Lyapunov, which considers the energy of the system. The results show that the equations of motion are asympt
