Modelling of a crack propagating through a finite element mesh under mixed mode conditions
is of prime importance in fracture mechanics. Three different crack growth criteria and the …

The modelling of a crack propagation through a finite element mesh is of prime importance
in fracture mechanics. We propose here a solution based on an advanced remeshing …

The Lemaitre damage model is now widely used to deal with coupled damage analyses for
various mechanical applications. In this article, different extensions of the model are …

Single-crystal silicon is extensively used in the semiconductor industry. Even though most of
the steps during processing involve somehow thermo-mechanical treatment of silicon, we …

Objectives: High-flow nasal cannula is increasingly used in the management of respiratory
failure. However, little is known about its impact on respiratory effort, which could explain part …

This paper presents the development and the validation of a 3D numerical tool called “finite
element model for concrete analysis method” (FEMCAM). This tool is established to model …

Self-pierce riveting (SPR) is becoming increasingly used in the automotive industry as a way
to join materials of different nature. In this paper we focus on the numerical modeling of the …

This paper compares the performances of the ATSC 8-VSB, the DVB-T COFDM, and the
ISDB-T BST-OFDM digital television terrestrial transmission systems under different …

Development of a numerical model applicable to clinical practice, and in particular oral
implantology, requires knowledge of the mechanical properties of mandibular bone. The wide …

The paper introduces a new parallel and efficient algorithm for the reinitialization of level set
functions on unstructured finite element (FE) meshes in two and three dimensions. The …
