• Layerwise theories for composite beams with continuous and discontinuous stresses 

    Baier-Saip, Jürgen; Baier, Pablo A.; de Faria, A. R.; Baier, H. (2023)
    Due to the unique characteristics of composite materials, the study of composite beams is far more complex than the study of homogeneous beams. The finite element method has proven to be a powerful approach to analyze ...

  • Shear locking in one-dimensional finite element methods 

    Baier-Saip, Jürgen; Baier, Pablo A.; de Faria, A. R.; Oliveira, Jauvane C.; Baier, H. (2020)
    The accuracy of the results obtained with Finite Element Methods depends on the basis functions employed to approximate the displacement fields. If the beam is very thin, there can be shear locking and the numerical ...
