New article: Embedding structures in continua: Linear models and finite element discretizations
New article: Portillo, D. and Romero, I. (2026). Embedding structures in continua: linear models and finite element discretizations, /Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering/, 451, 118683. (link).
In this article, we present a /model/ for the embedding of arbitrary deformable structural models inside continua. Additionally, we introduce convergent finite element discretizations of the proposed model. Applications include: reinforced concrete, materials with inclusions, materials with fibers, etc.
