Sentence examples for truss elements in from inspiring English sources

This was achieved by embedding the truss elements in the continuum elements representing the concrete.

A one-dimensional constitutive model for SMA behavior is implemented as a user-defined truss element in ABAQUS.

A hybrid finite element material point (FEMP) method is proposed, in which the truss element in the traditional finite element method (FEM) is incorporated into the MPM to model the rebars.

A perfect bonding of fibers to the matrix is assumed and a projection technique is used to express the truss elements variables in terms of their corresponding matrix elements.

Mechanical properties for the truss elements were determined in a similar manner to that presented in the research work by Odegard et al. [14], namely the Lennard-Jones (LJ) '6-12' potential given in Equation 5 was considered for simulating van der Waals interactions: U r = 4 ϕ ϕ r 12 − ϕ r 6, (5).
