Research ArticleOpen accessPiezoelectric Co-Rotational 3-Node Shell ElementGil Rama, Dragan Marinkovic, Manfred ZehnGeometrically nonlinear FE-analysis of active piezoelectric thin-walled shell structures, based on a Co-Rotational (CR) formulation and the Cell-Smoothed Discrete-Shear-Gap 3-node shell element (CS-DSG3) is presented in this study. The electric potential across the thickness of piezolayers is approximated by a linear function. The basic assumption of the applied Co-Rotational (CR) FEM formulation is that translations and rotations are finite, whereas … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 15 Oct 2016 · 7,816 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEfficient Co-Rotational 3-Node Shell ElementGil Rama, Dragan Marinkovic, Manfred ZehnGeometric nonlinear FE-analysis of thin-walled shell structures, using a co-rotational formulation and the Cell Smoothed Discrete Shear Gap triangular shell element (CS-DSG3) is presented in this study. The CS-DSG3 element formulation uses the Mindlin-Reissner kinematic hypothesis to include transverse shear effects. In order to avoid locking effects Discrete Shear Gap (DSG) method is applied. In addition, cell based smoothing technique … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2016 · 8,299 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessStructural Dynamics of the Distribution Mechanism with Rocking Tappet with RollFlorian Ion T. Petrescu, John Kaiser Calautit, Dragan MarinkovicIn this study, the authors present a new method to dynamically synthesize a mechanism with rotary cam and rotated tappet with roll, used with priority at the distribution mechanisms from the heat engines with internal combustion. This type of distribution can improve the changes of gases and may decrease significantly the level of vibration, noises and emissions. As long as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2015 · 9,294 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessFinite Element Formulation for Active Composite LaminatesDragan Marinkovic, Manfred ZehnSmart structures are characterized by a synergistic integration of active materials into a passive structure connected by a control system to enable an automatic adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Piezoelectric materials are widely used as distributed sensors and actuators in smart structures, where especially hybrid composites - a combination of fiber-reinforced and piezoelectric laminae - are very powerful smart material … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 2 Jun 2015 · 7,789 accessesView PDF Cite
