Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for Nonlinear Behavior in Advanced Materials
Abstract: (FEA) in investigating the nonlinear behavior of advanced materials plays a pivotal role in optimizing the design and performance of modern structural systems. As innovative materials, such as nanocomposites, metamaterials, and shape-memory alloys gain prominence, conventional linear modeling methods become inadequate for accurately capturing the intricate and time-dependent responses exhibited by these materials under diverse loading conditions. This research delves into cutting-edge FEA techniques to simulate and analyze the nonlinear …

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF BI ANGLE SHAPED SQUARE FOOTING UNDER TWO WAY ECCENTRIC LOADING
Abstract: Footing subjected to eccentric loading along two mutually perpendicular axes is quite a common field problem. Due to this bearing capacity is reduced considerably as the effective size is drastically reduced. A footing may be subjected to two-way eccentricity due to many reasons. In the case of footing subjected to one-way eccentricity the common practice is to match the centre of gravity of column loads to centre of gravity of …
