Computational modelling of rubber-like materials under monotonic and cyclic loading

The simulation of rubber-like material behaviour by means of the finite element method has been described in this study. Proper material models for the numerical description of static hyper-elasticity, the ideal Mullins effect and the Mullins effect with permanent deformation were proposed, respectively. The second focus of this study was the...

Large eddy simulation of 3D turbulent flow around deep-sea marina structure

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the highly complex interaction between turbulent flow and deep-sea marina structure using a commercial CFD code (FLUENT 6.2) with Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach. A series of three-dimensional LES of wake flows past overlapping cylinder of finite height are carried out with a range of Reynolds...

Numerical simulation of free overfall in a rough channel

This paper reports the results from a turbulent numerical modelling study on the free overfall in a rectangular channel. A wide range of model parameters (i.e. discrete square bar bed roughness, channel slope, and incoming upstream Froude number) is investigated. The water surface profiles, velocity fields and end-depth are simulated and...

Modern routes ro explore concrete's complex pore space

This paper concentrates on discrete element computer-simulation of concrete. It is argued on the basis of stochastic heterogeneity theory that modern concurrent-algorithm-based systems should be employed for the assessment of pore characteristics underlying durability performance of cementitious materials. The SPACE system was developed at Delft...
