Partial Slip Contacts in Linear Viscoelasticity
(2017-10-05)
This work analyzes partial slip contact problems in the theory of linear viscoelasticity using both the semi-analytical method and nite element method. Such problems arise in metal-polymer contacts in orthopedic implants ...
Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis Using Strain-Space Plasticity Coupled With Damage
(2011-01-27)
The Thesis deals with Strain-Space Plasticity and its implementation in Nonlinear Finite Element frame-work coupled with damage. Conventional Stress-Space Plasticity, though very popular amongst commercial nonlinear FEM ...
The Effect Of Interference Of Strip Foundations And Anchors On Their Ultimate Bearing Capacity And Elastic Settlement
(2011-01-10)
Due to close proximity of different civil engineering structures, the ultimate bearing capacity and failure pattern of adjoining footings/anchors are often influenced by their mutual interference. The present thesis is an ...
Solutions For Plane Strain And Axisymmetric Geomechanics Problems With Lower Bound Finite Elements Limit Analysis
(2011-04-05)
The present thesis illustrates the application of the lower bound limit analysis in combination with finite elements and linear programming for obtaining the numerical solutions for various plane strain and axisymmetric ...
Steady State Dynamics Of Systems With Fractional Order Derivative Damping Models
(2011-01-10)
Rubber like materials find wide applications in damping treatment of structures, vibration isolations and they appear prominently in the form of hoses in many structures such as aircraft engines. The study reported in this ...
Interference Effects On The Collapse Loads For Footings And Anchors Using An Upper Bound Finite Element Limit Analysis
(2011-02-17)
The present thesis is an attempt to investigate the interference effects on the magnitudes of the ultimate failure loads for a group of closely spaced strip footings and strip plate anchors. On account of an increase in ...
