[EN] FastSim is the most widely used tangential contact method due to its accuracy
and computational efficiency. However, its use is limited to elliptic contact areas, as it needs
results from Kalker’s Linear Theory, a ...
[EN] Hierarchic shear deformable structural element formulations possess the advantage
of being intrinsically free from transverse shear locking, that is they avoid transverse shear
locking a priori through reparametrization ...
[EN] Observational records provide a strong basis for constraining sea ice models within
a narrow range of climate conditions. Given current trends away from these conditions, models
need to be tested over a wider range ...

[EN] Curved tapered beams have been widely used in many engineering applications.
Their complex geometries pose challenges to the development of robust approaches for the numerical modelling of their mechanical behaviour. ...
[EN] Short-to-medium span simply-supported (SS) railway bridges are prone to experience
high levels of vertical acceleration due to train passage. The necessity of predicting accurately
their dynamic behaviour for design, ...
