In recent years, significant improvements in the design of leg blade prosthetics have been carried out. After several advances in material and topological optimisations, sport-purpose feet prosthetics have reached high-level performances, allowing athletes with limb loss to participate in various sport activities at a competitive level. Since the k...

Structural responses of separators are critical to battery safety. Commonly used separators are dry-processed polymers with anisotropic microstructures. Due to the material anisotropy, rate dependence, and temperature dependence, developing a model for predicting the thermomechanical response of polymeric battery separators has been challenging. Th...

The current work is devoted to introduce a novel thermoelastic heat conduction model where the Moore-Gibson-Thompson (MGT) equation describes the heat equation. The constructed model is characterized by allowing limited velocities of heat wave propagation within the material, consistent with physical phenomena. The Green–Naghdi Type III model is im...
This study provides a contribution to the research field of 3D-printed earthen buildings, focusing, for the first time, on the load-bearing capacity of these structures. The study involves the entire production and testing process of the earthen elements, from the design, to the preparation of the mixture and the 3D printing, up to the uniaxial com...
Uporaba kompozitov v industriji je z leti vse večja. Zaradi svoje izjemne specifične trdnosti predstavljajo potencial za reševanje številnih problemov, ki zahtevajo uporabo trdnih, a lahkih struktur. Ena izmed številnih možnosti uporabe kompozitov je tudi zasnova lahke kompozitne gredi. V raziskavi smo se osredotočili na razvoj analitične rešitve z...

AbstractThe problem of the mechanics of cracks in an orthotropic plate is considered. A general solution form is proposed as a generalized Papkovich–Neuber representation for the plane problem of the theory of elasticity of an orthotropic body. This representation allows us to write the general solution in displacements through two vector potential...

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are epoxy resin-impregnated and cured sheets of counter woven glass fabric (e.g. FR4) laminated between thin sheets of Copper. The nature of the PCB is inherently anisotropic and inhomogeneous but previous modal FEMs of PCBs have assumed isotropic, anisotropic (transversely isotropic and orthotropic) material propertie...
Disertační práce představuje dřevo z mikroskopické úrovně a popisuje jeho jednotlivé složky. Složky jsou popsány nejen z hlediska tvaru a rozměrů, ale také z hlediska chemického složení. Mikroskopické informace týkající se vlastností dřeva jsou doplněny poznatky získanými nanoindentací. Na základě získaných poznatků jsme si zvolili na makroúrovni f...

The use of composite materials in several sectors, such as aeronautics and automotive, has been gaining distinction in recent years. However, due to their high costs, as well as unique characteristics, consequences of their heterogeneity, they present challenging gaps to be studied. As a result, the finite element method has been used as a way to a...

Understanding the failure modes of curved hollow tree trunks is essential from both safety and conservation perspectives. Despite extensive research, the underlying mechanism that determines the cracking failure of curved hollow tree trunks remains unclear due to the lack of theoretical analysis that considers both the initial curvature and orthotr...
