... for numerical analyses, the finite element simulation model was provided via Abaqus software in which the Eulerian–Lagrangian coupling method was utilized for evaluating the tube forming process through repeating the fluid flow formation because of the effect. Moreover, the genetic programming model...

..., combined with finite element model analysis. The other conditions are controlled separately, and the fatigue performance of the T-beam bridge carriageway slab under different fatigue load levels and different plate thicknesses is studied. Findings The fatigue process of the carriageway slab...

... of these ends, and a micro-crack varies in the vicinity of this main crack. The problem is analyzed by the finite element method and processed by computational software (ABAQUS). Findings The numerical and theoretical analysis allowed the author to determine and compare the values of plane stresses and SIF...
