The development of new materials is a very important activity in the search for new structural engineering solutions. With the advent of new manufacturing techniques, some new materials can be designed as, for example, metamaterials. Metamaterials are a result of the combination of different materials in the constitution of their macro (or micro) structure leading different properties fro…
The EESC-USP Structural Engineering Department is nowadays a Brazilian Center of excellence with CAPES grade 7 for post-graduation curses. Recently, with the recognition of the detached participation of the Numerical Methods Group in the context of Department research it was created the LIMC (Informatics and Computational Mechanics Laboratory) - Wilson Sérgio Venturini. The present projec…

The objective of this research project is developing a computational code, based on the positional finite element method, capable of modeling three-dimensional trusses subject to static and dynamic loads, developing large displacements. In this context, as trusses can be converted into a mechanism by replacing one or more bars by actuators, it is intended to model mechanisms through the d…
The development and computational implementation of a finite element formulation for the simulation of three-dimensional structures and mechanisms with the introduction of sliding connections by means of Lagrange multipliers is proposed in this project. Local models will be considered for the analysis of the sliding that occur in spherical, rotational, prismatic, cylindrical and plane joi…
Application of increasingly lightweight and flexible structures and mechanisms requires the knowledge of geometrically non-linear dynamics. More than that, it is of interest to introduce actuators with the purpose of imposing the desired movements or to eliminate undesired movements of structures. Thus, the proposition of this research is to introduce the basic knowledge related to the to…

Experimental measuring of the force in the human muscles when they work is one of the most researched fields in biomechanics. Prior studies developed at Human Performance Laboratory at University of Calgary show an improvement in measurement of the mechanical properties of human skeletal muscles. One possible approach to better understand the real behavior of muscles is by proposing reali…
