The present work completes the implementation of adaptivity routines by extending them to CEA's fluid finite elements both in 2D (TRIA and CAR1) and in 3D (TETR and CUBE). The CAR1 is treated like other 2D quadrilaterals (Q41L, FL24) as far as geometrical issues are concerned. In addition to the...

The report describes the FORTRAN subroutine SGDI for rate-independent deviatoric plasticity with von Mises yield criterion and isotropic hardening, which corresponds to the VM23 material type in the EUROPLEXUS code (abbreviated as EPX in the following). EPX is a Finite Element code for the...

The development of the blast actuator experimental device is now entering the second phase, where reinforced concrete beams are used as specimens. This demanding phase needs a lot of support from numerical simulation to both predict and resolve possible failures and to validate the test results....
