    Hadeel AlQadi1, Fatimah M. Alghamdi2, Hamada H. Hassan3, Mohamed E. Mead4, Ahmed Z. Afify5,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.144, No.2, pp. 2029-2061, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.069801 - 31 August 2025

    Abstract Parametric survival models are essential for analyzing time-to-event data in fields such as engineering and biomedicine. While the log-logistic distribution is popular for its simplicity and closed-form expressions, it often lacks the flexibility needed to capture complex hazard patterns. In this article, we propose a novel extension of the classical log-logistic distribution, termed the new exponential log-logistic (NExLL) distribution, designed to provide enhanced flexibility in modeling time-to-event data with complex failure behaviors. The NExLL model incorporates a new exponential generator to expand the shape adaptability of the baseline log-logistic distribution, allowing it to capture a… More >

    Finite Element Simulations on Failure Behaviors of Granular Materials with Microstructures Using a Micromechanics-Based Cosserat Elastoplastic Model

    Chenxi Xiu1,2,*, Xihua Chu2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.3, pp. 2305-2338, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.030194 - 15 December 2023

    Abstract This paper presents a micromechanics-based Cosserat continuum model for microstructured granular materials. By utilizing this model, the macroscopic constitutive parameters of granular materials with different microstructures are expressed as sums of microstructural information. The microstructures under consideration can be classified into three categories: a medium-dense microstructure, a dense microstructure consisting of one-sized particles, and a dense microstructure consisting of two-sized particles. Subsequently, the Cosserat elastoplastic model, along with its finite element formulation, is derived using the extended Drucker-Prager yield criteria. To investigate failure behaviors, numerical simulations of granular materials with different microstructures are conducted using… More >
