Hierarchical finite element-based multi-scale modelling of composite laminates (2020)
Journal Article
Ullah, Z., Kaczmarczyk, Ł., Zhou, X.-Y., Falzon, B., & Pearce, C. (2020). Hierarchical finite element-based multi-scale modelling of composite laminates. Composites Part B: Engineering, 201, Article 108321. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesb.2020.108321

This paper presents a hierarchic finite element-based computational framework for the multi-scale modelling of composite laminates. Hierarchic finite elements allow changing the approximation order locally or globally without changing the underlying...

Design optimization for thermal conductivity of plain-woven textile composites (2020)
Journal Article
Zhou, X.-Y., Ruan, X., Zhang, S., Xiong, W., & Ullah, Z. (2021). Design optimization for thermal conductivity of plain-woven textile composites. Composite Structures, 255, Article 112830. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2020.112830

Textile reinforced polymer composites have excellent structural performance including mechanical properties and thermal properties, which are benefited from their relative complex architecture of the reinforcement. Tailoring the geometry of the fabri... Read More about Design optimization for thermal conductivity of plain-woven textile composites.

The localized radial basis functions for parameterized level set based structural optimization (2020)
Journal Article
Siraj-ul-Islam, Khan, W., Ullah, B., & Ullah, Z. (2020). The localized radial basis functions for parameterized level set based structural optimization. Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements, 113, 296-305. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enganabound.2020.01.008

The current work is mainly about the implementation of the local radial basis functions (LRBFs) within the level set framework for structural optimization of two-dimensional linear elastic problems. The implicit representation of the structural geome... Read More about The localized radial basis functions for parameterized level set based structural optimization.

A three-dimensional hierarchic finite element-based computational framework for the analysis of composite laminates (2020)
Journal Article
Ullah, Z., Kaczmarczyk, Ł., & Pearce, C. J. (2020). A three-dimensional hierarchic finite element-based computational framework for the analysis of composite laminates. Composite Structures, 239, Article 111968. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2020.111968

A three-dimensional hierarchic finite element-based computational framework is developed for the investigation of inter-laminar stresses and displacements in composite laminates of finite width. As compared to the standard finite elements, hierarchic... Read More about A three-dimensional hierarchic finite element-based computational framework for the analysis of composite laminates.
