Modelling of Large Elasto-plastic Deformations by EFGM
Abstract: Current work reports modelling and simulation of geometric and material nonlinearities arising due large elasto-plastic displacements in structural specimens by invoking enriched element free Galerkin method (EFGM). The displacement approximations are constructed by using moving least square approach. Standard displacement based approximations are modified by incorporating suitable enrichment functions depending on the nature of interfaces present in the components. Large deformations give rise to geometric nonlinearities which have been modelled …

Can Screw-only fixations of ACPHT acetabular fractures enhance stability as the standard buttress plate fixation provides?
Abstract: Background: Of acetabular fractures, anterior column posterior hemi-transverse(ACPHT) fractures commonly occur after a fall onto the hip in elderly population. When displaced in these fractures, open reduction and internal fixation using plate and screws is usually required to achieve good functional outcomes. The open procedures, however, involve high complication rates due to surgical invasion; therefore, percutaneous techniques by screw-only constructs have been advocated to minimize these complications. The purpose of …

Finite Element Analysis and Validation of Axial Capacity of RC Columns Made of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC)
Abstract: Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) possesses many excellent dynamic performances such as; high resistance to explosion and penetration. It has little effect on pre-cracking behavior in uniaxial compression, but substantially enhances its post cracking response. This response leads to a greatly improved ductility and toughness. Steel fibers in SFRC are capable of preventing crack propagation as well as brittle failure of columns under uniaxial compression. To this end, four reinforced …
