Kullaa, J. (author)The tensile constitutive behaviour of fibre-reinforced brittle materials can be extended to two or three dimensions by using the finite element method with crack models. The three approaches in this study include the smeared and discrete crack concepts and a multi-surface plasticity model. The tensile relation represents the crack normal stress...journal article 1997

Van Ostayen, R.A.J. (author)The "classic" solution for the support of a translating lockgate, the wheelonrail support, has relatively high construction as well as inspection and maintenance costs. An alternative support which has previously been developed for use in the Prins WillemAlexander lock is the socalled "hydrosupport", a hydrostatic thrust bearing that slides on...doctoral thesis 2002

Van der Zee, K.G. (author), Van Brummelen, E.H. (author)Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods are finite element techniques for the solution of partial differential equations. They allow shape functions which are discontinuous across inter-element edges. In principle, DG methods are ideally suited for hp-adaptivity, as they handle nonconforming meshes and varying-in-space polynomial-degree...report 2005

Munts, E.A. (author)The Variational Multiscale (VMS) method has appeared as a promising new approach to the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of turbulent flows. The key advantage of the VMS approach is that it allows different subgrid-scale (SGS) modeling assumptions to be made at different ranges of the resolved scales. Typically, in the VMS method, SGS modeling is...doctoral thesis 2006

Pannachet, T. (author)Accuracy of a finite element solution depends greatly on the spatial discretisation of the problem domain. The more refined/enriched discretisation provides better accuracy but also requires more computational cost. For modelling of quasi-brittle failure, the process zone where failure takes place can be very small, thus it is very cost...doctoral thesis 2006

Guo, Z. (author)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...doctoral thesis 2006

Van der Zee, K.G. (author), Van Brummelen, E.H. (author), De Borst, R. (author)Coercivity of the bilinear form in a continuum variational problem is a fundamental property for finite-element discretizations: By the classical Lax–Milgram theorem, any conforming discretization of a coercive variational problem is stable; i.e., discrete approximations are well-posed and possess unique solutions, irrespective of the specifics...journal article 2006

Andreykiv, A. (author), Van Keulen, F. (author), Prendergast, P.J. (author)Modelling the course of healing of a long bone subjected to loading has been the subject of several investigations. These have succeeded in predicting the differentiation of tissues in the callus in response to a static mechanical load and the diffusion of biological factors. In this paper an approach is presented which includes both...journal article 2007

Guo, Z. (author), Sluys, L.J. (author)The simulation of rubber-like material behaviour by means of the finite element method has been described in this study. Proper material models were selected for the numerical description of static hyper-elasticity. The combinations of a continuum damage mechanics concept and a pseudo-elastic concept with Gao's elastic law were used to simulate...journal article 2008

De Boer, A. (author)Introduction (chapter 1) In analysis software models the infrastructural constructions are often reduced to geometrical linear and surface models (plane stress and shell models). The selection of a model much depends on the speed of the analysis process and the total processing time. The increased computer power has boosted the visualisation of...doctoral thesis 2010

Van der Meer, F.P. (author)There is no state of the art computational model that is good enough for predictive simulation of the complete failure process in laminates. Already on the single ply level controversy exists. Much work has been done in recent years in the development of continuum models, but these fail to predict the correct failure mechanism in cases where...doctoral thesis 2010

Nguyen, V.P. (author)The conventional multiscale homogenization theory, which has mainly been applied to determine constitutive laws for bulk materials, suffers from two drawbacks when applied to softening materials. Firstly, the coarse scale response is sensitive to the finite element mesh used to discretize the coarse scale domain. Secondly, increasing the size of...doctoral thesis 2011
