Biaxial loading of offshore monopiles: numerical modelling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016-05-18)In this study, finite-element (FE) modeling was used to examine the influence of biaxial lateral loading of a monopile foundation. Two different soil models were adopted to investigate the influence of state-dependent and ... -
Comparing coronary stent material performance on a common geometric platform through simulated bench testing
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2012-03-02)Absorbable metallic stents (AMSs) are a newly emerging cardiovascular technology which has the potential to eliminate long-term patient health risks associated with conventional permanent stents. AMSs developed to date ... -
The influence of creep on the settlement of foundations supported by stone columns
(2014-11-05)Vibro-replacement stone columns are widely used in geotechnical practice to improve the bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of weak natural soils and man-made fills, accelerate consolidation in fine soils and ... -
Modelling stone column installation in an elasto-viscoplastic soil
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-12-31)The majority of numerical studies investigating stone column performance have used “wished-in-place” columns (no installation effects) in conjunction with elastoplastic soil models (no viscous effects). In the first part ... -
A Quasi-Rotation Newton-Raphson method for the analysis of marine risser structures
(2014-10-17)This thesis describes a method which represents a novel approach for the prediction of coupled axial, bending and torque response of compliant beam structures undergoing finite deflections and rotations. The analysis of ... -
Stone column effectiveness in soils with creep: a numerical study
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-03-16)While it is well established that vibro stone columns reduce primary settlement and improve bearing capacity, their effect on creep compression has largely been overlooked to date. However, with increasing pressure to ...
