[EN] In the field of bending-active structures, the complexity of finding beforehand the equilibrium configuration and the non-linearity of the structural response are main issues during the conceptual phase. The use of ...

The Dynamic Relaxation Method (DRM) is an interesting alternative to solve complicated
nonlinear equilibrium problems, solved via a pseudo-dynamic analysis, with explicit time
integration, carried out exclusively by fast ...
The property of concrete to be poured into any shape and harden at ambient temperatures makes it the most widely-used material for shells. Using this traditionally brittle material in shells restricts their forms to mostly ...
