(Elsevier, 2010-09)This paper investigates the applicability of a cohesive zone model for simulating the performance of bituminous material subjected to quasistatic loading. The Dugdale traction law was implemented within a finite volume ...
-
(WIT Press / Computational Mechanics, 2004-10-20)A combined experimental/numerical study has been conducted to investigate dynamic fractures in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PPMA). The results obtained from single-edge-notched-tensile (SENT) fracture tests support the idea ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012-08)The effect of thermal shock on the exural strength has been investigated experimentally. It was found that the variation in exural strength with quench temperature was influenced by the CBN grain size. Polycrystalline ...

(Elsevier, 2009-04)In this work, the behaviour of fluid-filled plastic containers under base drop impact is investigated using a combined experimental/numerical approach. In addition, theoretical predictions from two approaches, waterhammer ...

(Elsevier, 2009-08)The interaction between the flowing blood and deforming arterial wall is critical in understanding the role of hemodynamic forces such as wall shear stress (WSS) in atherosclerosis. Numerical methods have been extensively ...
-
(Elsevier, 2010-01)Mechanical testing and modelling of a material for biomedical applications have to be based on conditions representative of the application of interest. In this work, an ether-based polyurethane elastomer is used to build ...

A combined experimental–numerical investigation of fracture of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (Elsevier, 2013-02)Numerical modelling of a series of experimental Single Edge V-Notched Beam tests was carried out for a number of grades of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride using the finite volume method (FV) and cohesive zone model ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012-11)This paper describes the development and application of a frictionless contact stress solver based on the cell-centred finite volume method. The contact methodology, implemented in the open-source software OpenFOAM, is ...
-
(Elsevier, 2013-02)The present work investigated the effect of the level of prepreg moisture content on the mixed-mode fracture toughness of a co-cured composite joint. It was found that moisture was stored in the prepreg as either free or ...
