Lower Bound Limit Analysis Applications For Solving Planar Stability Problems In Geomechanics
(2014-09-04)
Limit analysis based upon the theory of plasticity is one of the very useful numerical techniques to determine the failure loads of different civil and mechanical engineering structures for a material following an associated ...
Behaviour Of FRP Strengthened Masonry In Compression And Shear
(2014-04-08)
Masonry structures constitute a significant portion of building stock worldwide. Seismic performance of unreinforced masonry has been far from satisfactory. Masonry is purported to be a major source of hazard during ...
Numerical Methods For Solving The Eigenvalue Problem Involved In The Karhunen-Loeve Decomposition
(2014-05-05)
In structural analysis and design it is important to consider the effects of uncertainties in loading and material properties in a rational way. Uncertainty in material properties such as heterogeneity in elastic and mass ...
Studies On Fatigue Crack Propagation In Cementitious Materials : A Dimensional Analysis Approach
(2014-08-19)
Crack propagation in structures when subjected to fatigue loading, follows three different phases namely - short crack growth, stable crack growth and unstable crack growth. Accurate fatigue life prediction demands the ...
