...F.S. Wang; Z.F. Yue; Y.S. Liu An optimization method has been presented to simultaneously identify the bird’s constitutive model and its parameters automatically in the bird strike problems. The full contact‐impact coupling algorithm of finite element method (FEM) has been applied...

...Juan Gomez; Minghui Lin; Cemal Basaran The problem of concurrent thermal and vibration loading has not been thoroughly studied even though it is common in electronic packaging applications. Here we attempt to address such a problem using a damage mechanics based constitutive model. Damage mechanics...

...Marinella Giunta; Aurora Angela Pisano This paper proposes a new visco‐elastoplastic constitutive model for asphalt concretes able to reproduce the non linear time‐dependent behaviour of such materials.The constitutive model has been developed with the aim of making it fit specific experimental...
