The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 2.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00034 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.46 SJR: 0.333 SNIP: 0.606 CiteScore™:: 3.1 H-Index: 31

ABSTRACT

In this paper, the applications of s-FEM that involve initial strain-like terms are presented. When s-FEM is applied to the analyses of composite materials, the overall structure or the region of unit cell is modeled by a global finite element model and each reinforcing particle/fiber and its immediate vicinity are modeled by a local finite element model. Many local finite element models are placed in the analysis region and they are allowed to overlap each other. When the particles/fibers are the same in their shapes, the same local finite element models can be placed repeatedly. Therefore, generating an analysis model that has many particles/fibers is a simple task. Modifying their distributions is even more trivial. The s-FEM formulation is extended so that it can incorporate with the initial strain-like terms first. The formulations for the analyses of residual stress and of elasto-viscoplastic problems are presented. Numerical procedures to form stiffness matrices and how to choose material and strain history data when finite elements overlap each other are then discussed. We solved the problems of wavy shape memory alloy fiber/plaster composite material and of particulate composite material whose matrix material experiences an elasto-viscoplastic deformation.
