Towards a seamless Integra0on of CAD and Simula0on Introduc)on

macro-crack is nucleated. Although the strain energy and the external work dis- play oscillations, the dissipated energy of the beam increases in a strictly monotonic manner. This

This method is set in the context of FE 2 [20] for which computational ho- mogenisation breaks down upon loss of material stability (softening). The lack of scale separation due to

The theory encompasses many essential ingredients to solve the problem: novel boundary conditions that do not con- strain the localization direction; a multi-scale method that

One measures the intensity of a monochromatic laser beam (HeNe, 6 328 A) which traverses a uniformly oriented liquid crystal placed between crossed polarizers. If

sphere onto a surface G having the property that equilibrium configurations of a nematic liquid crystal map into.. geodesic lines on the surface

Recently, a molecular theory has been developed [1- 6] which exemplifies the potentialities of a micro- scopic approach in accounting for the observations of

We show that the asymptotic distribution of diffusing agents is a nonlinear function of the nodes ’ degree and saturates to a constant value for sufficiently large connectivities,
